Outfitter,

Maybe I worded it incorrectly. But last year the rancher I know applied for tags non-resident transferable. He had to apply for them at the cost of $332.15 . (Landowners have to draw non-resident transferables and up to 50% of the non-resident tags can be issued that way).He thensold the tag to JoeBlow for x amount of dollars. (lets say 664.30). That gave him back his $332.15 and he made a profit of $332.15 he then transfered the tag to Joe Blow. (few dollars transfer fee) Joe Blow got the tag and still had to purchase the $332.15 deer tagplus the $72.15 for the lic. So the tag as far as things went cost roughly $1100. ($332 that the landowner paid to get the tag for in the drawing, $332 that he made profit, $332 for the tranfer person to get the tag and $72 for the hunting lic). Transfering the license just allows you to purchase the tag. At least that is the way the people we take hunting have had to do it in the past. If that is wrong then somebody was over charged. Or somebody gave them the wrong process to get the tag. But as 6 people did it that way in the past 3 years I don't think they all got the wrong advice. And it wasn't from me that they were told they had to purchase the tag. They had that all worked out before they came to the ranch to hunt.

Most WIHA land doesn't open until the 1st of Nov. And in my opinion Oct 6th-12th is probably the hardest time to to bowhunt deer, as they are very unpredicatble, and it's usually still pretty warm so the movement is minimal and bugs could be thick. $750 for a tag without any land access, isn't cheap either!

goatslayer, somebody is taking advantage of someone. I have sold tags last year to hunters and this year, all it cost them was the priceI sold it to them for plus the few dollars to transfer the tag.
example cost me $321 to get tag they booked a hunt with me so I sold the tag to them for $325 to pay for me mailing certified letter. They sent the tag voucher to wild life and parks with less that $5 and they got a tag back in their name total cost @ $330

Outfitter,

I called one of the guys who hunted here last year and made sure I was correct in what they were telling me. They are going to do some checking but sounds like they were recharged on the purchase tag of the permit. If so they have been paying for the tag twice and just getting the normal permit. Nothing they can do about it now. But will keep the guys this year from making the same mistake. All 6 of the guys who came out are from the same group of friends. So maybethe first guy got bad info and passed it on to the rest of us.I am thinking these guys spent an extra $332 that they didn't have to.

Thanks,

yep no need to pay the tag price again. I do it exactly likeadoutfitter.
