If they had to commit to paying for the license if drawn, which adds another $40 to $50 to their commitment, some of them would at least do some research, and then decide not to bother applying.

As for landowners, they provide food and habitat all year to many animals, and they provide land for many residents to hunt on, so why shouldn't they get a tag. Outfitters provide nothing as far as habitat, they just bring in non residents that don't contribute in any way to the province, and in many cases, not to the local economy either. Outfitters are just a parasite that are out to make profits, and could care less about the Alberta residents.

BS. To your comments about outfitters and all the money that is brought in to the economy. Funny how most are landowners to. APOS is never going away and neither are any outfitters so deal with it. I still disagree with your comment about jacking tag and app prices. Some crap will happen as is it does now. Just cause you want to waste your money paying more taxes does not mean I do. Wake up as it does nothing to change anything.
