Montana Proposed bill to raise Non resident base hunting fees over 500%

Colorado had a 57000 jump in applications between 2019 and 2022. Vast majority NR as resident hunter numbers have been declining.

Makes me wonder how much of the applications and point buying has increased due to loss easily accessible tags. A decade ago a guy could get a MT or ID tag at their leisure, WY was an every other year, CO OTC probably sucked a lot less, so lots of people didn't even play the points game. I hunted MT general tags for 2 or 3 years before i even considered a bonus point or applying for the LE units.
