We (Oklahoma) went from probably the cheapest to one of the most expensive states for out of state deer hunters and it was long overdue. The last increase was 25 years ago. $710 for license and tag for non-resident. Oklahoma's wildlife department is 100% funded by hunters and fisherman. When you have out of state outfitters leasing up 1,000s of acres because non-resident tags are cheap, it's time for a change.
Wish Arkansas would follow suit. We just upped our OoS tag prices last year, but they are still way too cheap. And judging by the amount of Texas tags I see on our public land, they could triple the new price.
