To answer your question, no. The price reflects what the market will bare.

Montana also has a point system which cuts the odds down even more . I believe you can also get an outfitters tag but that is more money . Its a case of how bad do you want to hunt as to whether your willing to pay thier rates .Thats why they can make them so high .

Check with the DNR next year. Property OWNERS here in GA are not required to have a license to hunt on their own property, all you need is a harvest record.
I am not sure about non-resident owners but it would seem reasonable that they should have the same privelege.

Nonresidents in Illinois pay $225 for a deer combo tag(buck and a doe tag). They pay about $45 for a NR full-season hunting license(about $28 for a five day license) and about $6 for a habitat stamp. With the processing fees it is about $275 or $300.
Only 12,843 tags have been available in each of the past three years and tags sold out last year in about 5 days. There is a movement to allow more tags in 2004.
My hunters over the past 3 years have had no problems getting tags as I have them start calling the first day. Sometimes it takes hours to get through, but it is worth it to them to secure their tags.
Good huntin!

I agree that there should be lower prices on out of state tags. For example in Utah for a buck antelope tag it costs under $100 for a resident and like $250 for a nonresident. When you go up to wyoming (which has so many antelope that they eat in the cemetery of downtown evanston at noon) a resident buck tag costs $35 while a nonresident costs $120!

Interesting question..... Depends on the state. Depends on your point of view. If your the resident of the state where a lot of non-resident hunters come to, your views probably differ from the NR hunter. I live in Alabama, but am originally from Arkansas and really hate paying the high cost to hunt land I hunted as a kid, but know a lot of people that feel NR hunters are intruding and would like to see the fees go up even more. However, it's worth the $$ to be able to hunt with my dad and brother and grandpa!!!!!

I paid $302 for an out of state, either sex tag in Iowa. I am fortunate to have family there with access to a lot of land. This was my first year and got a buck and a doe. The experience was priceless!!! But I would have to agree that the non res fees everywhere are outrageous, especially when the states are saying they want the herd reduced. I know that Iowa does have a special holiday season for non-residents only Dec 24-Jan 2 for only $50 (anterless only tag) + $80 for the hunting license. If you didnt have a Season 1 or 2 tag, you can get one - not a bad option, but still $130.
