Task force $1,950 NR elk tag

[BuzzH]

Just listening to the Wyoming task force meeting, Sy Gilliland is recommending special NR elk fees increase to $1,950. Also, looking at a 50-50 split from special/regular fee.

What do the NR's think?

 

[TOGIE]

50-50 split from special regular fee?

what does that mean? is that the proposed allocation between special and regular? or regular fee is 50% the special fee?

Currently 60% of the NR tags are allocated to the regular fee, 40% to the Special fee.

The suggestion is to go 50% Special, 50% Regular.

Something to keep in mind is that youth priced NR fees only apply to the Regular draw.

 

[BuzzH]

So, $1200 for NR special deer and $1200 for NR special pronghorn as well.

Break out the check books NR's...

 

[TOGIE]

i'll only accept Sy's recommendation $2000 NR special elk tags and $1200 special deer and antelope tags if the split is changed to 90% regular 10% special

I think that's a lot...getting to the point where I may opt out depending on the type of year I have. Single me says #*^@#* it you only live once. But the real me with 5 people on 1.5 income says I can put a pig and a half of steer in the freezer for that price. Gauranteed.. it's not about the meat as near as much as experience for me but from a family standpoint that's how I see it. Type 6 tag would be come much more attractive to me at that point.

What do the NR's think?

I've heard worse proposals, but I can't say I support it. I mean how many other products see a one year increase of 70%?

Gasoline?

Recommendation passes, going to the legislature...special $1950 elk, special $1200 deer/pronghorn.

Why do they keep throwing shit on the wall to see what sticks?

Outfitter certainty for clients.

 

[TOGIE]

wow. Sy and his cronies going hard.

leave the allocation alone, that's bullshit. don't like the prices, no, but leave the allocation alone. it's just shiftin tags towards the wealthy, which is Sy's goal, obviously.

who do we e-mail in the legislature?

 

[rogerthat]

I ain’t special enough to support that idea!

 

[DFS]

Regular draw prices stay the same?

Regular draw prices stay the same?

Yes, point creep goes through the roof...in particular if they adopt 50-50 split too.

Damn. I best get my butt a tag and get tf out of Wyomings draws before I’m forced to pay big money. Elk hunting is fun but it isn’t $2k for a tag fun.

This NR is glad he’s already got a Wyoming elk, mule deer, and antelope on the wall. Might be fishing only on the next trip.

This is ridiculous.
