Spyro, I guess a resident has no priority in hunting his or her home state then? I simply don't and won't agree with your logic. Just because it is federal land, and very little game in this state spends the entire year, just on federal land, we have no preference. What if the elk leave federal land, spend months on private, does the private land owner get tags? Or all of the tags becuase the elk are on his land,then return to federal land in the spring, now they are federal elk?

Nah! State's elk, states wildlife, we get cheaper tags because it is our state and we live here, 365 days a year, supporting all facits of the state. You and George are not going to change it. Try and try, then you can cry and cry!

$490 is not out of line for a once a year chance to hunt elk. I spend my wages, nearly 100% here all year. Then get a tag for $55, versus $490 to some one who comes and drops $1000, once a year. It's not broken why do you kalifornians want to change everything?
