How much do you spend on tags?

[flatlander51]

I'm getting a little more envolved in multiple states and species this year and the bill is adding up quick. Just wondering how much some of you guys are putting out a year in draws? I'm looking at around 5 grand this year.

For the last 10 years running two nonresident tags in Idaho and nonresident in mt a cool. 2 k as we speak and more fun days afield than I can recollect along with a nice rack or 2 in time all we have are the memories photos and stories so if you have the resources and the family is ok with it don't look back

Non refundable or refundable?

I'll be out around $3.5k non refundable this year. Building points across the board in AZ, UT, and a few species in CO and WY. I'll be actively trying to fill two WY antelope tags, an AK black bear tag, AK moose tag, MT elk tag, and MT deer tag. I'll also have 5 turkey tags in AL and KY and deer tags in AL and KY as well. All archery, all DIY. Bring on the 2014!

TE you have a busy year in front of you! Good luck man. I wish I could spend that much time in the feild.

I guess I was thinking combined. Refundable and non.

 

[Rucker61]

Maybe $250. Two elk and a deer tag resident in CO, and 3-4 nonresident antelope doe tags in WY.

For $237 I get my BC license, black bear, cougar, mule deer, whitetail, elk, sheep, and goat (hope I can draw that one). Doing some Alberta hunts too. For just under $500 I get my mule deer, whitetail and antelope tags as a non-resident. Have to almost double those numbers for my wife's tags.

Buster.... shhhh, you'll get all kinds of people trying to move here.

For about 5K last year I did a week of coastal griz, couple weeks of sheep/goat including the flight in, an interior moose trip and a late season interior whitetail trip... for 2 people. That figure also includes licence and tags.

I must've forgot a zero somewhere...

About a grand. Co elk utah preference points for multiple species and possibly sd rifle deer.

 

[DMiller6868]

Just spent $1,000 for MT and $600 for Colorado elk tags...

 

[tipsntails7]

California res,deer,bear, waterfowl, upland and pig are guarantees so 185, if I draw elk antelope or sheep it obviously goes up. Oregon non res im at 650 for general archery elk, again if I draw sheep or goat it goes up substantially. not sure if I will hunt Washington and Idaho this year or not. so I will probably be under 1k unless I draw something special.

 

[Sooner]

600 in CO. Hunting in Oklahoma doesn't cost me anything. Hoping to put in for a few more states next year.

 

[Travis Bertrand]

How are your guys numbers so high? I put in for 7-8 western states and around 38 different tags and my number is around 1500 non refundable.

 

[MesaHorseCo.]

Kinda what I was thinking Dr. It only really starts to add up when you start drawing a couple of those N.R. tags.

 

[Travis Bertrand]

I know one guy that spends that much but he applies for his family of 6.

 

[Craig Van Arsdale]

I'll apply in 12 states this year and front 15k. of that about 2k is non refundable.

Grand Total $5312.26... Non refundable $2992.26. Interesting to actually add it all up (first time I have done this exactly instead of a ballpark figure). Depressing sort of, but far better than what other guys my age blow their money on.... and all in still comes out to less than one guided Mule Deer hunt. DIY is the way to go for sure!

That is just over me but I avoid WY
