I agree with... If you want to play then you got topay... WE are the biggest conservationist group in the world. But being a guy that lives in Colorado I do think that $575.00 for a bull tag is a bit high ..... but inline with other state's as well. Now what's the trade off .....I don't know. The CDOW recieves all of it's budget money from licensing fee's(not taxes). I think that they could offset some of their cost's by increasing the application fee and maybe do something like pay if you draw. If you don't pay then the tag go's into the leftover catagory or maybe into a special draw. If you used point's and drew but didn't pay.....You lose your point's. That could be a problem unto itself.Colorado at this time (unlike Wyo.) does not allow you to purchase only a point.
