Depending on what was brought and how far they were flown in the $3000 could possibly have been for the flights and other transportation. If they were staying at a remote lodge or cabin, using a rented boat those would also add to the cost. Seems a bit steep but I could see it ending up somewhere in that neighborhood. In Ontario people can pool their priority and draw tags as a group, only one animal can be killed. This year I met a guy from Ontario while hunting elk, he told me that in the zone they typically hunt it takes 5-6 hunters worth of priority to draw one tag every year. SO your options are, share a tag or wait 6 years and draw your own.
I tend to think that the exact dollar amount here possibly got a bit exaggerated but the big wide world of hunting the Canadian wilderness can work a bit differently than popping pest deer over crop fields.
