[QUOTE="ElkStalkR, post: 4327684, member: 2292"] Talking with my Iowa buddy we believe Oklahoma maybe the most expensive "whitetail state" in the way of license costs in the nation now. From this standpoint: Single buck tag during gun season...we took that position as that is typically what a non-resident is coming for. Regardless of how many doe tags you give him that really doesn't factor into most out of state hunters decision. Furthermore, we did not include Rocky Mountain states as those states are in general mule deer states and the supply/demand for mule deer tags far exceeds whitetail tags and thus command a much higher price, years to draw, etc.... We have not been able to think of another one, but admittedly we haven't researched everyone either. Some quick examples of other states that are known for quality whitetail bucks: Iowa $650 Nebraska $365 South Dakota $300ish Kansas $600ish Missouri $300ish Wisconsin $300ish Texas $315 Illinois $400ish Ohio $250ish Obviously its not apples to apples as some of those states don't hold their gun seasons during the rut and often archery tags are hard to pull in those states as a non-resident. I hear a bunch of talk about making it "average" with other states. Oklahoma tag costs is not average now, we are on the top of the pile or dang near it! If their goal was to decrease the number of non-residents by making the tags expensive, I believe they will accomplish that. Did the ODWC state as much? They may have and I never saw it. I'm mostly just making observations here, as it doesn't directly affect my hunting. Furthermore I enjoy the discussions and input of ideas. I did not realize the ODWC had study conducted regarding the matter, that's interesting. [/QUOTE]
