[QUOTE="SummitsCalling, post: 1833467, member: 53117"] I agreed with R first, but we as sportsman should manage for good opportunity for the next generation, even though hunter recruitment in your own state is going down year after year. If it's not a count road why would the govt pay to maintain it? Sounds like a road the rancher owns/maintains themselves but I guess it depends on the exact situaiton. I only driven fed/county/BLM managed roads, would be illegal to do otherwise Per your numbers of tags, 70,000 x $24.75 (assuming not priced locked, 2019 fees) = $1.732mil Non Resident Deer tags 11000 x 301.75 = $3.319mil *Not including licenses, extra fees, etc. Appears to me despite being 1/7th in numbers is worth 2x more just in tag fees. However that's just in animal fees. I'm sure your property taxes, sales tax, etc add up to be quite a bit. My #s were to show you what tourism brings to the state. It's alot, and cutting back tags (which is already gonna happen I believe), will only hurt IDs economy. In fact your own F&G stated they will be raising fees due to the majority of the funding being provided by NR that they can't go without. I would argue most NR prob spend $2-5k without even going the outfitter route before tags/fees. I am not not discounting what R bring to the table, not only financially but otherwise. I wanted to point out it's just not R who have something to lose despite $. I've hunted ID for almost two decades, not as long as some but hopefully it gives you reference of where I'm coming from. I also asked to be stationed there, and got to spend 4 years hunting the woods as a R. And I've continued to hunt as a NR. I've hunted areas just plauged by wolves, where most people wouldn't even bother because it had at least the chance to go. ID is not in a good spot in my opinion from a management point of view. NRs are not to blame, there's just less animals in my humble opinion. Trails are sometimes mainted by park services, blm or volunteers. Where I live the govt gives grants to the local recreation management area to pay for the trails, volunteers do most of the work but at least there's funding going into it. As someone who's maintaned countless miles upon miles and even more miles of trails, I'm fully aware of what it takes and the gratitude I have for people who help out. It's why I do my part to give back, on top of volunteering for search and rescue. The numbers I was referencing were from the 2019 IDFG report, and subsequent years. [/QUOTE]
