Default Montana buyers remorse: Hate to say I told you so

In the discussions on Montana's price increase last year, I predicted buyers remorse would kick in this year. Namely, people pay the high prices, go to montana, and 75-80% come home without an animal. Some probably saw more wolf tracks than elk tracks Then they get to thinking about how much they paid for low percentage success and decided to hold on to their money this year.

My gosh, the season is about to start and they still have hundreds/thousands of tags left. Here is the link that shows how many: http://fwp.mt.gov/ And they even took out a full page ad in Bugle magazine this month! "Please buy our licenses".

Think they will get the message that they have jacked the price up too high?? Probably not. Prob raise it more to make up the difference. That is the democrat way of thinking, hopefully there are a few republicans up there.

I have hunted the great state of Montana 3 times and have been successful each time (1 bear and 2 elk), but won't hunt again at those prices. For those that do, good luck. Hope you get a big-un.

Pretty soon they'll be selling one tag for $500,000.

Some ********** will buy it.

I'll be there for 10 days in November. Please everyone tell all your friends that the hunting in Montana is too expensive and the only animals left are wolves. I won't mind having the place to myself.

I knew you would jump in here sooner or later! I hope you don't run into many hunters either. Helps my cause all the more. Guess wolves aren't a factor after all. How many licenses did they issue for that north Yellowstone herd hunt this year?

Hope you have a great and successful hunt. It is truly one of the great places on earth.
