I do feel the cost for a non-resident license is too expensive.
I would not be suprised if a Montana resident elk tag went up to $40 or even $50 a tag.
Would you still buy an elk tag if it went up to $50? $75? $100? for a bull elk tag?
You really think an increase is in the future for residents? I could see $19 going to $24 haha, but certainly not $40 or $50.
Make a resident bull elk tag $75, a non-res bull $750, res cow $20, non-res cow $100.
know how many non-res would buy a bonus cow tag if they were $100 or less? nowadays I bet almost no non-res buys a 2nd cow tag for like $300? ie for a meat tag? it would go from 0 to thousands, talk about increased income!
