Table 1. OTC Elk Tags for Non-Residents in Six Western States for 2017 Elk Hunting Season. A = Archery, M = Muzzleloader, R = Rifle, ALW = Any Legal Weapon; data in table accurate to the best of my knowledge as of April 2016.

When Table 1 was first published, there were eight states that offer various OTC elk tags to Non-residents. But now, Wyoming and Montana no longer offered OTC tags to non-residents, but chances are still good to hunt elk in those states.

As Wyoming continues to close seasons and cut back tag quotas, the effects have continued to be very significant and detrimental to the overall draw odds, particularly for non-resident hunters. The limited quota elk areas in Wyoming have been losing between 300 and 500 tags each and every year total. I have to believe this has begun to create a very significant hole in the Game and Fish budget from a revenue standpoint.

There’s a limit to what you can charge for an elk tag, and I would say that $1,071.00 is pretty damn close to the line if not a bit over the edge in my opinion. I realize times are tough out there, and the cost of wildlife management is expensive, but just increasing your prices is not always the answer.
