If TPWD had a program that allowed a non-drawn hunter to volunteer to help run the/a hunt in exchange for a preference point or two for the following year in the hunt category of your choosing, would you volunteer?

Originally posted by justletmein View PostI believe they still have to buy a non-resident Texas hunting license which is a much higher fee than residents pay. Now if they were to mimic Colorado they'd have to buy that NR license before they can apply, but at least the ones who're successful will purchase it. On the other hand, OP, I don't think NR's are flocking to our draw to hunt in TX though so this is likely a fairly minimal impact.
3% of 250k is still significant especially when we aren’t capped on hunts per species. Our exotic/aoudad hunts have significant NR Apps.

I ripped them up in their survey about Preference points, mutiple app per hunt, etc. I wish it would go back to the old way. I haven't been drawn since they went online. It's all about the money to them and I told them that.

Originally posted by apkleinschmidt View PostI just filled out their annual survey on the draw system.
I left comments questioning why Non-residents have the same application fees and draw odds when no other state in the US offers the same. We get boned on fees and odds for all western hunts in all western states. And we have the least federal land of all of them, by a longshot. I mean a nonresident won one of our only bighorn tags!!! It clearly upset me haha.
Please follow suit and comment to the same effect. Maybe we can get some traction.
*If I'm wrong about the odds and fees please correct me and I'll edit my post.

Originally posted by ladrones View PostI believe non-residents are awarded around 14% of available NM bighorn sheep tags. Seems like that is pretty fair for the very limited Sheep tags?
The resident tag is $160
Non-Resident tag is $3173
NR PER 100 tags foot 70% of revenue.
If residents what to foot the wildlife funding revenue loss. Cut all NR Tags.

Originally posted by justletmein View PostI'd be interested to see the numbers, if you do the request please let us know what you find out. The NR Texas hunting license is WAY more than double though, way more.
What state has the same for $315?
The equivalent
In NM that's $2300, although you can't get that many deer tags
In Oklahoma that's $482 if you only hunt deer in one season. (Although you can get that many deer tags or turkey or javi)
