Elk Survey- my thesis research
 

[hr] Hi everyone, I am a senior at Colorado College and am writing my thesis on willingness to pay for an elk license in Colorado, for both residents and non-residents. If you hunted elk in Colorado could please fill out the survey. It would be much appreciated. There is a $50 gift certificate being given away to one respondent.
The survey is short, 21 questions and should take no more than 10mins

If you could forward my survey to your friends that also hunt elk in Colorado and post it on other hunting websites it would really help me out.

I did fill out your survey, but you have some things wrong.
Elk tag is $49 plus a $5 Habitat stamp. And if you hold more than one lisence you have to purchase two habitat stamps[total of $10]. That was an increase from $30 to $56 at the last increase{86.8%}. A lot of the programs the DOW are involved with don't help with animal populations. Securing properties that almost no one will ever get to hunt because of points needed to draw the tag are in my veiw pointless. Most of the elk populations live on federal not state property so the CDOW has no control over the ground anyway. They just patrol it for violations. There is no doubt that the cost of fuel was causing the need for more money, but that cost has dropped 64%. The economy at the lowest place in many years is all the morereason to leave things as they are. Many people can't afford the prices going up as it is. The potential damage raising costs can do at this time won't help the CDOW.

I took the survey but would have liked extra room for comments/reasons for my answers.
gselkhunter; hit the nail on the head, I agree with his comments 100%.
