Agreed, however 40% or more of the limited tags going to the outfitters is ridiculous. In addition, the outfitters can also have hunters that have drawn reach out to them.
My friend brought it to my attention some of the number of tag allocations for certain units seemed quite in favor of outfitters compared to NR tags.
For instance, in the Pioneer zone for A tags there are 155 NR tags and 145 outfitter tags. Middle Fork has 174 vs. 209. How and when did this...
THIS is a huge deal for me. I was all for the draw, BUT not having to spend $185 first. We never had to do this in the past. What the hell am I going to do with a $185 NR license after I don't draw? I was hoping this wouldn't turn into New Mex, but I guess it did.
I had him a chest pack with a pair of Swarovkis in it, but he didn't like them so in the truck they stayed. I get the dangers of glassing through a riflescope, but the reality was I had already checked the canyon for people and just had him glassing for elk in the shadows.
