Game and Fish Department Proposes Increased Fees
The Arizona Game and Fish Department is proposing rulemaking to increase a number of license, tag, stamp and permit fees to the maximum amount allowed by statute.

Many fees are already at their maximum limit allowed by statute. The department proposes to raise the following fees (the fees shown below do not include the administrative processing fee):

- Antelope resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $65, and non-resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $325.
- Bear resident nonpermit-tags will be raised to $14.50, and non-resident nonpermit-tags will be raised to $200.
- Bighorn sheep resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $195, and non-resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $1,000.
- Deer resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $19.50, and non-resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $125.50.
- Elk resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $78, and non-resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $400.
- Javelina resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $12.50, and non-resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $70.
- Turkey resident hunt permit-tags will be raised to $11.
- The two-pole stamp fee will be separated into a resident and non-resident fee. The fee for a resident two-pole stamp will be raised to $8, and a non-resident stamp will be raised to $24.
- The Arizona-Colorado River Special Use Permit Stamp will be raised to $4.
- The White Amur Stocking License will be raised to $200.
- The license dealer’s license will be raised to $100.

The public will have the opportunity to review the proposed rule changes and provide comments. Public meetings will be held at the following times and locations:

- Dec. 2 starting at 6 p.m. in the Flagstaff regional office, 3500 S. Lake Mary Road
- Dec. 3 starting at 6 p.m. in the Kingman regional office, 5325 Stockton Hill Road

Actually, if you can draw, AZ nonresident tag prices are not too bad, especially considering the quality of the hunt. The license gouge to get the bogus points is their big ripoff.

I know all about buying the license ever year to acquire bonus points. I buy one and now that my daughter can hunt, buy two junior licenses. My point in posting the info was not to complain, just to keep folks up to speed who have to budget for these very important needs for next year. If I fork out $1,000 for a sheep tag, I will be spending the extra for a guide.
