Re: Tag info Needed

This is pretty dis-heartening. Our plan was to start applying for all the western states in hopes to draw 2 or so "good" tags per year. But it appears your bank account needs to be much higher then mine. I would guess like 40k for all the tags we are gonna apply for. Wish they would charge ONLY if y...

Re: Tag info Needed

So Utah is the same as AZ. They require you to pay for a lic no matter if you draw or not. How long does it take for CO to reimburse you? I was told WY is like 45 days after the draw takes place.
