I can see increases for inflation, but doubling is ridiculous. This is way too much for a freaking deer and elk tags. I will hunt Utah this year but screw it after that.
Yes that is correct for either species on the general tag but read the regulations for the unit you want to hunt, there may be a restriction for one or the other. In some units the whitetail only tag has a slightly longer season or some muzzleloader or archery options a general tag doesn't have.
Just note that the BLM does not own the land as indicated in the article, its owned by the citizens in the U.S. and managed by the BLM. Its wrong having exclusive access to public land and also claim value as a result. I am all for ranching and private property rights but those rights should not take the public property rights for access. I think it is reasonable to allow corner crossing and airspace.
Also what these lawsuits do is further erode public support for ranchers, I think that's why the WY stock growers have not taken a position. You want a bill passed that would benefit a rancher? Pubic writes letters to legislators to not pass. The ranching community wants to oppose a bill increases in grazing fees, reduction or closing of grazing on public land or other onerous things, public writes letters supporting bill. Or public observes someone damaging fences, equipment or whatever on ranch and doesn't to report or help law enforcement. It's not mine and they don't allow access not my problem.
Pick one with flat rectangular trays with a heat element and fan in the back. The round ones with a heating element in the bottom and no fan tend to cook the lower layers and not dry the upper layers. I have an Excalibur that I bought years ago, happy with it but it was expensive. The Cabela's one mentioned here by Mark C. is similar and should work fine.
Adam M. I was an Idaho resident (born in cascade) but had to move to Nevada to make a decent wage like so many other Idaho residents. I would guess that a third to a half of Elko County residents are from Idaho or have Idaho roots for that reason. I probably have spent more money in Idaho directly or indirectly as a nonresident than if I stayed as a resident (I used an Twin Falls contractor for two roof jobs) because of the wage differential. You should be aware that we use a lot of Idaho contractors, construction managers, and Engineers in northern Nevada. I still buy a nonresident license and tags to hunt with family I don't mind paying more as a non resident but don't like getting fleeced just because I am non resident, increases should be across the board for all. The other problem is that by having 10% percent of people paying 50% of your funding you could have a problem with budget when the economy tanks and people are not spending money on tags. Between 2008 and 2016 Idaho sent me emails to buy license and tags to generate revenue. I have always bought a nonresident Idaho hunting license for birds to hunt with family but there were several years I did not buy big game tags because money was tight. Overcrowding is not as simple as number of tags, we continue to loose access opportunities on private land because of development, sales to people or companies that wont let you on anymore or by hunting leases. Anyway I had a point in mind when I started this comment and lost track of it! Bottom line is non residents shouldn't be treated as cash cows. Charge more at a reasonable rates but also charge the residents the same rate increases. Idaho resident rates are cheap and the residents should be grateful. Be respectful to non residents because you could be a nonresident somewhere someday! Or even a nonresident in your home state if you have move for work!
