Not sure what your goal is. If your goal is fewer NR hunting public and are willing to accept more NR paying to hunt, keep increasing NR prices. If you want less pay to play NR above all, you want to keep NR prices as low as possible. Ben is right, it is fairly simple economics.

The simplest economics is that whether or not it's 15, 50, or 100 they will all sell out.

The "goal" would have been putting the cost to apply with the rest of the market in terms of price and better fund FWP. Clearly that goal isnt shared by mcs/moga.

So you think the guy that’s paying over 5k a year just to shoot a 140” mule deer with an outfitter will care if the tag price goes up 5x? I highly doubt moga gives two shits if the prices go up and it would probably actually help them to start pricing people out

Seems odd they would pay a guy to go argue against it (a batman?) if they "dont give two shits "

"Opposition to Parry’s bill came from the Montana Outfitters and Guides Association, where one lobbyist, Scott Boulanger, said the increase was “drastic.” Representatives of the outfitters association told lawmakers that they would support a more modest increase to $50."

It must be exhausting being the smartest guy on the internet

I do see the logic of having enough money to be able to afford to pay a lobbyist a years salary to save 100 dollars in my application fee in Montana

$36 R Deer + Elk, vs $1312 NR Combo. I'm becoming a bigger fan of MOGA every day. I know you are willing to pay more, but most aren't. The formula is simple, pay more and lower the number of NRs. Maybe give away some "hardship" tags for those that just can't squeeze the wallet to find $16 for a deer license?

I get a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing I am saving a MT resident $680.

I don’t generally have a problem with the number of NR tags issued and certainly understand the $ value they bring to conservation. I do however think the way they are distributed is a major problem. There shouldn’t be any statewide general tags issued to NR’s and should be species specific in my opinion as well. You can apply those same rules to residents as well.
