Utah Price Increase

[CM]

Yikes It looks like this got put into Senate Bill 008, the general funding bill.




Here's a link, the wildlife stuff starts on line 4319

SB0008

I stole the tables off monstermuleys.

Guess I won't ever be hunting in Utah.

 

[Trial153]

That’s crazy

Span 2 years with the license and they don't charge for the tag till you draw, I don't see anybody going anywhere.

 

[Hnthrdr]

Damn, Co should 1000% award reciprocal tag fees to our Utard brethren!

 

[resident vs nonresident]

no one:…….
UT:……WY hold my beer

 

[resident vs nonresident]

$3700 elk tag that’s new record right?
But I think we’d all still pay their prices for moose/goat/sheep/bison?

I’m out at those prices. Even if you manage to spread it over two years.

With that said even if they lose half the applicants they still net the same revenue so .

 

[Hnthrdr]

I mean it’s their right to charge what they want, that’s fine, but damn man… watch other states follow suit.

 

[waspocrew]

That's crazy - at this point I'm pretty invested in applying to the state over the last 14 years, so I guess I'll just keep paying more. Only live once, right?

Sad to see what they are doing to hunting out west. Pricing regular people with families out of the game. All these prices keep doubling and my wages don’t. I prioritized my career to have time off because hunting used to be affordable~guess I should have went for the money instead!!! Hope I win the lottery soon

Going to be a lot of people coming for those trophy turkeys at 250 bucks a pop.

Sadly that's not out of the realm for non resident turkey tags

It's hard to say if the $250 turkey tag or $700 cow tag is the better value

You can take out a whole flock on the road for free.

Can you really put a price on that high quality, organic, Joe Rogan says it’s the best tasting, meat to feed your family?

 

[HighUintas]

Rogan is a friggin turd.

That said, I'm moving away from Utah in a couple of years. I'm now really conflicted on trying to use my elk LE points before leaving because I sure won't be applying after moving.

Do I just enjoy the area I cherish and have been hunting for the last 6-7 years and maybe try to pull a big one out? Or just try to dump my points?

Probably just forget about the draw and enjoy "my" area the next two years since I sure won't be paying $1500 to hunt the general season.

Utah has some of the best trophy spike hunting in the west. I think it's undervalued at $1200

Tough call, do you have enough points to potentially draw your area? Might be worth looking at another unit and possibly hunt ML or archery to lower the points needed to draw.

Sadly, I doubt I'll draw as a NR - but you never know unless you apply .
