But, it ain't gonna happen. Can you imagine how the Texans would scream if we cut them off? LOL
SCREEEEEEAAAMMMM
Hi, my name is David and I am an elkoholic.
Going to $100 for residents would probably thin out the resident crowds just like the $600 NR tag has thinned NRs out (30,000 less NR elk hunters). But there is no way you would come close to making up the lost revenue if they cut us off. Then you would hear the Parks and wildlife and the communitites that make money from us scream.
