Here here Spyro!!! The various nations of Indians (screw the Native American moniker, I gottanuff Cherokee in me to care less what the do gooders want to call em) are free and clear to "rape whiteys billfold" and God bless em. IMHO I hope they ALL keep up their high fees for hunting on reservations. Can you imagine what would happen to the incredible herds at San Carlos or White Mtn if they threw open the doors, let in every redneck with a bugle call and sold em a tag otc? The places would look like Colorado by spring!!!

Sounds too me like some of you guys in the western states are just acting like spoiled children. $30-$40 for a tag? Sheesh thats hardly worth the commissions time. Here in TN I buy an all inclusive (species, weapon, state permits etc) license called a "Sportsmans License" that just had a 30% increase and now will run nearly $140 a year. Thats just to shoot deer, turkey, small game and to fish with in my own state! You guys wanna complain about paying less than a couple hundred bucks to kill animals that us easterners would pay THOU$AND$ for?

You tell me... the annual number of animals that need to be removed is known. Why would the game depts NOT want more of them going to NRs when they will be getting up to 10x more money in license fees for those animals removal? Sound like common economic sense too me fellows!
