I would love to see NR tags go down in price. Charging 350 bucks for a wolf tag is absurd. I have serious questions about Montanas' desire to effectively manage predators. As far as the cost of the NR elk tag, I'm afraid I-161 voters set that price in stone. Montana is going through a very anti-outfitter mentality right now.
