RE: Tag prices, Draws, and hunt costs.
I dont agree with paying ten times the amout. I think everyone that has the dream to hunt a certain animal should get that chance. I do agree that residents should pay less Iam just saying its price gouging lets just be fair about it that fedral ground that you guys hunt on I pay for too. Mark my words if the prices get hire do you realy think your state will give you a tag before a nonresident. I think we need try to keep the cost close to each other or we wont be able to hunt are own state.
Ive never tried for a draw area found out that if you go to hard to hunt public ground you will find good numbers and trophy qaulity. You have to use other hunters to your advantage.
I dont think you can put a price on a hunt its up to the hunter I wouldnt pay much for a trophy whitetail hunt in IL . But I would take the same money pay for guided moose hunt
Iam a pro at do it yourself hunts cheap and been very successfull. I can go to CO. from IL. hunt elk for 9 days for between $700 to a $1000. And be hunting right beside guides who clients pay $3000 .
