Coach Report post Posted February 1, 2019 More applications + more tags + increased application fees + increased tag fees. All across the board it's been costing more and more each year just to apply. And not too far in the past, you could opt to only buy a license if drawn - no more. Out of state applicants have it even worse, but it's like that in all the SW states these days. Hunting has changed from a simple, cheap means of getting meat on the table to a very lucrative "cash cow". That said, I think we have it better here in AZ than just about anywhere else. Yeah, it's getting pricey, but still have some of the best resources around. I've got a family of 5 and when you start adding up all the costs involved just to get licenses and apply it really adds up fast. If you want to expand to NM. CO, UT - it is a "pay to play" game. However, this is what we love to do. It's our passion, and passing that down to the next generation is priceless. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted February 1, 2019 I'll also say this. One of my favorite things is seeing youth hunters out there with family and friends. I don't always agree with what G&F is doing, but when it comes to youth hunting, AZ G&F has done an amazing job. I've seen more hunt stories around families hunting together on these youth hunts than I can count. To all the dads and moms out there taking their kids hunting and showing them what a wholesome experience it is - Thank You. That's what we need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
