I am spending $1898 this spring as a Wyo resident (I skip some trophy species because I don't have that much cash to float) plus an Oregon nonres elk tag this year, points in Colorado, Nevada, and Utah. Plus $120 in Commissioner Tag raffles brings me right over $2k, though I expect but don't want to get some of my money back from Wyoming draws.
I spend about 1000-1500. I mainly stick to hunting oregon. If I dont draw anything in oregon I will get a washington deer or elk tag so I have something to do.
About $80.... and that gets me my hunting licence (which includes small game) a moose, sheep, caribou, bison, black bear and grizzly tag. A bit pissed that grizzly went up to $25 last year....
nonrefunded hunt application fees ands pref/bonus point fees to enter draws in ID, CO, AZ, WY, MT, UT, NM, NV, SD, NE, KS, TX ? Well over $1,500
Cash outlay (refunded when not drawn). Up to $15,000 sometimes more it seems get loaned to various states.
Actual tag costs per year? Wildly variable with what I draw in which
states. $300 to $2500 or so.... on top of the application and pref point fees paid..
