[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 464256, member: 7999"] No fight here. But I have to say that when an outfitter is guaranteed out of state tags in a system that has a waiting list to get a tag, there is no trouble in selling the tag for the outfitter. Sounds like the outfitter will always have a guaranteed amount of work, no matter how poor he is at his job. Maybe I am wrong, but I do not recall a time that out of state tags did not sell out. All out fitters would get business simply by existing because they had the tags. Now, as Green had stated, the good outfitters will continue to get their business and grow their business. The poor quality outfitters will have a tough time getting clients. The average price of the tag has increased, but the odds of drawing have also increased. As far as the price of the tags, I think that MT is in line with all the other Western States. I also do not think that the money from the sale of tags is lining any individuals pockets. If it is then there should be criminal charges. I do not always agree with how the fish and game uses money, but the sale of out of state tags is the funding for the block management program. As far as out of state hunters should be able to hunt on Fed land the same as the in stater, move here and take your lumps in the local economy. I never left MT because I did not want to leave the wilds. I also have struggled to make a living. Whether it is fair or not I can't say. Hind sight, I should have left MT to make better money, and paid the out of state hunting rates. I would more than likely been very far ahead. Steve [/QUOTE]
