In addition any license sales a state can show such as a permit, license, trail pass, kill tag etc. the state also gets money back from the Pittman Roberstson Act.
So the increase in sales as in ] WI by offering the extra (left over) quota kill tags for any given game specie mammal or fowl can be accounted for and is the reason why the state does this. In the end every sale the State can show is dollars back from RP Act and is more dollars to help fund the DNR programs. Be aware of that.
