Exactly. I burns me the cost of out of state license when they scream about stuff like this. Some states have even cut back on number of tags.
Yessir, the cost of non-resident licenses for game has become a major funding source for states with game.
Well the number of tags should fluctuate depending on the population. Just because CO is overrun doesn't mean everyone else is. I don't know if they've had the right number of tags available in CO or their cost... It could be that there are tags going unused, it could be that all the elk are in unhuntable areas.
