Colorado cow elk tag increase
Cow elk tag pricing going to $450 next fall! I may not go next fall as that is the only vote we have.

It also is close to the tipping point. Up till now, I was satisfied to hunt a cow due to the price break. Now if I go, I may just hunt a bull/either sex tag since it is not that much more any more. Ready to see more bull hunters in the woods?

Not sure what other "license" fees are involved, but cow tag prices in Wyoming and even Montana are less than $300
And Colorado probably has more cow tags to sell than all other states combined.
So residents will sit on no price increase and are OK with us getting priced out of the market. Not sure I understand that fellow hunter mentality. "Everyone else is doing it" is no reason to go along.
Tobe B: You don't have anything to worry about. NR pricing can be raised by a vote in the DOW. Resident pricing changes has to be approved by the legislature.

In Wyoming a cow/calf tag for a NR adult is $288 and for a kid is only $100. You need the $12.50 Conservation Stamp to hunt anything and if you try for a tag in the drawings there is a $14 application fee, but the fee is not charged for leftovers.

Does anyone know what these NR price increases will do to landowner tags? Will they potentially be getting more since they are selling less? And this might be a little off the subject but can a longtime resident of Colorado tell me what they they think is going to happen since the legislature signed in the new bill that is supposed to change the requirements to the conditions of receiving landowner tags?
