They deny themselves luxuries for most of the year so they can take a chance (and a much needed holiday) for a hunting trip. And before you say they should get a better job or an education to get a better job. Well maybe they are getting that education, hence no money for over priced tags. If your just a meat hunter I highly doubt anyone with a low income will pay $150 for a tag. Hence by charging that much for a tag you just took a portion of the hunting community out of the equation making it "a rich mans sport". I understand what you are trying to do, but your thoughts about how to do it are highly flawed in my opinion.

How many of theses guys saving and scrimping to fill the freezer are putting in for coveted tags such as suffield antlered elk, mountain moose, Trophy sheep draws? I would think if they are that hard up they would be hunting meat animals that are more of a guaranteed harvest and would be after cow elk, cow moose, antlerless deer etc so would an increase on trophy tags would really affect them would it??
