Outrageous NR prices!!!

[BuzzH]

As a resident of a state, you pay taxes year round in that state and some of those taxes go to wildlife funds. As a NR you pay very little into that wildlife fund through out the year, therefore you pay higher rates to hunt in that state as a NR.

Really sux when ur state caters to non rez to the tune of 6 deer for 300$ and i travel to colorado and pay 500$ for one. TAX PAID OR NOT..........come on

Isn't it outrageous how possessive some people get over something that doesn't belong to them? I dont assume or generalize because I'm not as a$$hole but there has been plenty of that going on in this thread so I will assume that if you look at the way some fellas react to this thread you can get an idea of the reasons why stuff like that would happen to your truck. It's sad really.

Given your attitude, I kinda feel like messin with your camp.

Also if anyone is interested I have WYOMING license plates for sale. County 10 and 16. $74.99 each or $124.99 for the set.

Exactly my point haha but stop on by, well have a beer. I'll show you how "heavy my gold bar" of a tag is.

It’s funny when the complaining about NR prices in western states starts. I bet not one of those complaining has gone to the F&G in their home state and asked them to make resident and non resident prices the same. But every state does the same thing.

Very true

Always wondered what gives states the right to charge outrageous prices to NR to hunt public land that's mainly federal property anyways. PUBLIC PROPERTY owned by each and every one of us. Most all of us are NR hunters and we get gouged to the point where its not even feasible anymore. This is not a question looking for responses regarding the states owning the animals and all the things it pays for becuase i think most of us are aware of that. The point is, what gives one person the right to pay $35 to hunt and harvest the same animal it cost another person $800 on the same exact piece of federal public ground? Seems there could be a system in place to even the field if you're only hunting federal/public lands. Thoughts?

Just wait until you draw a WY wilderness tag LOL!

I want to know what gives Starbucks the right to charge $5.00 for a Frappuccino ?

This is spot on. It is what people will pay to hunt. Simple supply and demand. ILLINOIS DOESNT HAVE ELK, ANTELOPE, MULE DEER, OR MOOSE. I want to hunt them I pay. I have the choice where I go and what states I spend money on. There is not a snow balls chance in hell I'm driving anywhere and paying anything over 25 bucks to shoot a whitetail. But I flew to Alaska to hunt deer. Why? The Experience.

I still think a NR elk or deer, antelope, fishing , upland, water fowl experience in Montana, North Dakota, Canada, Oregon, Colorado, Wyoming etc is a heck of a deal compared to other expenses in life. A couple thousand bucks to sit in some resort by the pool compared to a week in the mountains out west or up north?

Why do so many guys come back every year to hunt NR states?

 

[swampokie]

Yall come to oklahoma and pick u a muley or whitetail, We will sell u a bow buck for the exact same that it costs a rez! U get 6 for 300$ including 2 bucks as a non rez. For one buck as a rez it costs 25$ for a hunting license and 25$ for the tag. Total 50$ exactly the same as a non rez for a buck. otc baby we in no way limit outa staters by percentage either. Come visit and watch our govt F%$# our residents and mail our game south across red river

Not entirely true. I do not believe i can go to public lands in another state and do my choice of recreation free of charge. Niether can you or anyone else on this site. That's my point, wheres the fluidity? I've never paid a NR fee in another state to enter any state or federal land. Pretty sure i can go to most trailheads or state land and I owe the same amount daily to park and use the facilities as any person foreign or domestic but I've heard no resident complain about that. Shouldn't I have to pay more because I'm not a tax payer in that state?... I understand you pay the taxes as resident but under that idea than why is everything else NRs pay for the same as what you do pay for as a resident? BESIDES HUNTING FEES. And "the state owning the wildlife" seems to make it even more rediculous because the arbitrary dollar amount they are aloud to charge as a government agency regulating public property is astounding. The state I'm from matters not. I could care less if NRs wanted to come to my state and pay the same as I do to hunt public lands. I have no more right to it than they do and I dont believe they should pay literally 25 times what I do. It's in public interest to limit government reach. Can anyone give any example of anything else with the amount of price difference that NRs pay over residents? I'm honestly very curious.

What is your average income versus your median home price where you live? I pay out the ass to live where I do, by choice of course. I pay less in tag fees, but I put in a hell of a lot more than a NR in a year also. Cry us a River.

I believe the difference is that Starbucks is not a govt entity. The prices are not controled by the govt arbitrarily. The govt is treating the wildlife more like Starbucks is treating your coffee, charging you stupid prices because they know you'll pay it. Telling people it's illegal to profit off a natural resource that is not owned by one person while also doing it in outrageous proportions to certain populations. Some states are practically giving away NR tags becuase nobody wants to go there and fill them. If it was popular in your state they'd be on the rise just like they are all over the west I promise you that. This is more like a govt controlled market on natural resources. Not Starbucks. Without entertaining these issues is how we end up in a Starbucks like state under the govt.

What’s a reasonable price? Should all 50 states be the same?

Equal how? I don’t want to be equal to California in many ways, that would suck

yep . The guys living in Tennessee , Indiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana , SC, WV, FL, AR living in a $140,000 house complaining about paying and extra $400 to hunt out of state where the average price of homes is approaching $400,000.

The op obviously lives in his teeny teeny world and oblivious to cost of living in western states

The average price of a home having anything to do with the topic......and only $400 more

Keep whining and maybe the western states will lower their prices. Why not just move to Colorado, Idaho, Montana or Wyoming and, get a marketable degree or training ( requires work and effort) get a job and buy a house, and start hunting? No one is stopping you from Momma's apron strings.

Maybe have your Mom call the fish and game and demand you should get resident prices lol
This is a pretty ridiculous topic
