Non-Resident license fees to increase

[Jackalope]

I guess it would be easy to do if you didn't get caught transporting it back home. Not me.

You could still landowner temp tag it. Just because it's in the back of the truck and you're not home doesn't mean it wasn't shot at home. Or temp tag it with a regular tag and check it landowner.

Yep, damn you think of everything. LOL

Yep, there are likely many ways around it all and even when that person get's it back home if they didn't feel like calling it in they could just butcher it and into the freezer it goes. I guess that's why I never understood the temp tag thing, especially when they can be copied now or re-printed...or in the case of landowner tags tossed in the garbage and a new piece of paper ready to go for the next one. Seems the temp part should actually be a permanent tag that you have to fill all the blanks out in ink and that you simply add the check-in number to once you call it in. The landowner part is simply a loophole that cannot be closed. Unless of course you are an ethical hunter with morals and do it by the book.

That be me. I'm just too damn old and mean to be found guilty. I've said it before "if I say it put in the bank as it's a done deal".

I buy a hunting license every year. Most years I do buy a deer tag. The last few years I've hunted only on my property, because I was hunting a particular buck. I think most owners of small pieces of land do buy tags and licenses though. It wouldn't bother me if they did away with landowner tags. Where else can you spent $43 and have enjoyment for four months.

I don't remember the exact figure, but recently I heard that the majority of deer killed in Meigs Co were tagged with landowner tags. I think it was somewhere in the ballpark of 60 or 70 percent... Which is obviously crazy high. Something's going on there...

i was checking last years publication 304 and meigs had a landowner tag use of 44%...that doesnt seem too aweful bad considering there are a lot of legacy family and property ownership in those counties.

Interesting. I still think 44% seems high. I thought the figure I heard was higher, but then again I think it pertained to 2013 and not 2012. Hard to say. My memory is total shit anymore.

Anyone know when they will announce what this increase will be?

They have to "vote" about it.. Which is kinda funny

 

[woodyw333]

What are the prices now?

They need to be about $50 higher than PA, WV, KY, MI, and IN.

I can tell you that in KY last year it cost me $210 and they too are raising their rates for NR $140.. so next year it will cost me $350 to hunt in KY.

Around 2005, it cost me about 140 to hunt KY. That was to purchase two turkey tags, four deer tags, and a hunting license! I think with the private sector slipping (cutbacks, pay reductions, and job losses), all these public (DOW, schools, public utilities, etc), should probably take a look around... The public sector has always been funded by the private. I think its moronic for the public sector to squeeze more money from the private when there is apparently less to go around.

I enjoyed hunting in KY, but I was what some would refer to as a border jumper. No way I'm paying 350 to hunt a few Saturdays a year an hour from my house!

That equation gets in my head. Price vs satisfation vs worth. Taking a trip or two Outwest or somewhere else a little more wild and vacation like seems more and more desirable.

Yep, I'd love to go on a bear hunt again in Saskatchewan LOL!! Seems I'll get stuck paying what ever the ODOW say's it's worth just so I can enjoy what I have invested so much time and money into already, that and visit with my dad and family.

My thought was turkey and pork combo. R un and gun for birds while keeping an eye out for hogs.
