This is far higher than a non-resident would pay in license fees to hunt antelope (+ outfitter costs), and they can hunt antelope every year!
So the government is making far more off of me for every antelope I take, (over a 15 year period) than it makes off an antelope taken by a non-resident.

How many people will only apply for a draw, and will not hunt birds or big game with over the counter tags?

Prepay should only take effect if you are drawn for the tag.
There is a problem with people never paying for their tag after they are drawn.

That would be the best idea, it would keep people from applying for tags that they don't really want.
