Early Sheep Draw

[Bullreaper]

Truly an increase to $30-50 for an application does not price anyone out of hunting for a sheep LEH application. Anyone can afford to spend that much to apply, and certainly some species could be increased over others, still leaving plenty of opportunity for essentially free applications.

No, that wouldn’t be a terrible increase but Isn’t that what we have the special sheep draw for?

The two are separate conversations in my opinion. I believe there would be a lot better ways to manage and promote the special sheep draw as well.

Once we know that all fees are going back into the management of wildlife, then we can talk about higher fees.

Increasing fees now is not a good idea. If they are increased now it'll be even tougher to redirect that revenue stream away from the general spending pool.

Agree. My comments were mostly around hunting becoming a rich mans sport due to a price increase.

Yes funds should go back to wildlife, but when you look at the amount people spend on gear etc they can spend more on tag and application fees.
Read half the storys and they all have to have a drink after they seem to be able to afford that.
When i use to put in for sheep in Nevada it was $1000 if unsuccessful you got most back except for application fee but still had to put money up front.

So if drawn your tag cost $1000 ? what is fair about that?

Guessing your not familiar with the prices for tags etc for non residents.
Put the money up front gets rid of lots of those that apply just because its something to do.

Looked like you were suggesting the same for BC LEH
