Brainstorm Solutions for the Western "Tag Crisis"

[RyanT26]

Let us all know when you tell your kids, relatives, and friends to stay home.

You can dislike the message all out want it doesn’t change the fact that it’s correct. Is getting tags easier now compared to 10 years ago….No. Remember decent left over Wyoming antelope buck tags. Those days were pretty cool. How about Wyoming general tag every other year. Those are once every 5-10 years now, and you may never catch back up due to the point creep. Could truly be once in life time.

The “tag crisis” is due to the promotion of western hunting and the manufactured crisis that hunting is a dying hobby over the last 10-15 years.

Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about.

Actually very familiar with 33% draw odds for resident “easy” to draw deer units in CO. I know that NRs get a significant amount of draw tags and scoop up landowner tags at 2k a pop, no questions asked. So the $ value of the market is 2k. That’s the price CPW should charge. It makes zero sense that the cost of a tag is significantly lower than that. It’s not like people can’t hunt their own states. Unless you like in CO and NM and you can’t.

Hunting was just fine when current hunters brought in their kids, relatives and friends, when it went downhill was when the industry made up a stat about hunter numbers dwindling and needing people to recruit more hunters at all costs.

I have to believe you’re not seriously comparing that to what R3 truly is. You do know what R3 is and the levels that companies and non profits go to recruit more consumers/spenders right?

You didn't answer the question; if you believe we don't need new hunters, did you tell your family and friends to stay home or do they get a special exemption ?

Residents also buy up expensive landowner tags. Maybe resident tags should go for thousands too.

Squabbling over dwindling supply is a loser game. We all need to think bigger and expand supply.
