When fuel is three dollars a gallon, big game tags over $500 apiece, every state in the country with budget problems, the $93 it takes to have a chance to collect a preference point or a tag for a unit you desire, is a small part of the equation.
And I suppose nobody plans on shooting any blue grouse or is Or spruce hens for camp meat while on the excursion.
Alternatively, you can take your chances on leftover tags, or over-the-counter tags, after August 1 and save the 100 bucks.
Every state with big game has migrated to some form Of base license plus fee tags in the last 20 years.
Michigan included.
I absolutely hate the new pheasant stamp.
