Assasin-I will agree that the dollars are the deal with some game departments but I think you need to be careful of who you sleep with
I didn't say I was going to side with him on every issue, just the fighting of this bill.
He also is big time for landowner tags and the only thing you will be hunting for five grand without an outfitter will be raghorns. He understands well that trophy bull tags can bring 15 to 20 thousand dollars and is preaching that to the ranchers. You might get cow tags in the worst part of a ranch for $500.
That's really a seperate issue and while I agree to some extent I also disagree with part of that but again that's a seperate issue from supporting and or joining him in fighting these proposed bills.
As far as the state's right to charge that is clear and Taulman's attorney allready wrote threatening letters on that one and the states flipped him off.
They probably flipped them off when they filed that first suit as well
However, we have both seen that flipping off the public concern may not be the best idea because you may piss them off and take you to court and the court may not side with the state in which case they would feel kind of stupid after such a display of arogance.
When NR tuition is mandated to be equal then I might believe that your tag costs will go down. Not likely
The difference being that most universities aren't federally funded. However, many of the game areas in these states are funded with federal taxes and therefore should be equal in access to everyone. Universities are typically funded by the state and therefore should have the discretion in their admittance and fee schedules. However, if they do recieve federal funding then they should also provide equal access at equal cost or face the possibility of losing that federal funding. There maybe several positive spin offs from this
