Wyoming Game & Fish Department is asking the Wyoming legislature for an overall license fee increase of 20%.

See legislative briefing at: http://gf.state.wy.us/downloads/pdf/fundingstmt3465.pdf

The actual license fee increase proposal can be seen at: http://gf.state.wy.us/Funding/lfiproposal%20082806.doc

Of particular note you will see the following...
LICENSE / '06 COST / PROPOSED COST:
Resident application fee / $4 / $5
Non-Resident application fee / $12 / $14
Resident Bighorn Sheep / $95 / $115
Non-Resident Bighorn Sheep / $1,900 / $2,250
Resident Mountain Goat / $100 / $120
Non-Resident Mountain Goat / $1,800 / $2,150
Resident Moose / $90 / $110
Non-Resident Moose / $1,200 / $1,400

Thanks, Brenton, for keeping us up to date. I can live with this type of increase. Expensive tags for a sheep seem reasonable. What kills me is when these G&F agencies use schemes to extort money from the non-resident applicants (things like $100 preference points, and $75 small game licenses come to mind) The agencies know they have us over a barrell. At least with an expensive tag fee, you get a refund. When I shell out lots of cash just to stay in the game, I feel like I've been kicked in the a$$.
