New Non-Rez Prices

[Dr. HK]

The issue from an outsider's perspective (I have only hunted one time for deer, but have my lifetime fishing and hunting license), is the public land isn't very good, and hunting outfitters are buying up leases all over the state and out-pricing locals. So non-residents that come here and hunt should pay more IMO. However, if I were in charge I would like to see a case study and analysis done, with how much non-residents bring in taxes, out-of-state money for food, lodging, etc.

It doesn’t matter about taxes, food, lodging, etc, because the ODWC is trying to grab all they can and just gave a big FU to local businesses that count on hunter’s money.

It’s retarded for them to jump the price that much. It should have went up a little and go up incrementally every year. Not let’s triple it and then not change it again for another 15 years. They pulled the same BS with the line time licenses. As a state we rank about the same in lawmakers as we do in every other metric. In the bottom 10 percentile.
