Sorry for you guys though, you are caught in the middle. Or should I say in the middle of the triangle: skyrocketing cost of tags, down economy, wolves.

Can't win for losing! Hope you have a good season
Actually, we are doing rather well. Montana bought back some of the elk portion of the combo tags so they could be sold to others, cool system. Wolf season open now and should provide some additional hunting opportunities for some outfitters as well. I have not seen, heard, or even seen a wolf track in over a year. The economy is bad, but it is not bad for everybody. Tags are a little high, but so is gas, groceries, disneyland etc. There are still plenty of folks who can afford a Montana elk hunt and will spend the money on tags.
