There’s already a thread about this.
Non-Res Deer tag price hike....
So I got an email this morning from MDC, and it stated that there have been talks about raising the price of a Nonres tags. (ill copy the email below so I don't have to try and quote it)
The one main thing that caught my eye was their reasoning for changing it was
"We commonly hear from many Missourians that our nonresident permit prices are too low compared to other states," said MDC Director Sara Parker Pauley. "Increasing prices for nonresident hunting and fishing permits will address this. It will also add needed revenue to help with our ever-rising costs of managing the fish, forests, and wildlife of Missouri."
I am a Non-res hunter, and I enjoy hunting MO, but I don't feel its fair to only raise the price for Non-res hunters and not Res hunters. In this email, they mention that neighboring states have higher Non-res tag prices, and this is why they are raising. So I went and checked all the neighboring states to see if this was true, and some are higher, BUT the Resident tag is also higher. So Why not raise the Resident tag as well as the Non-res tag if this is truly a money issue? The amount of non-res hunters is a tiny percent compared to the residents. Even if they raised it to $25 from $17, they would make far more $$$ than only raising the Non-res tags....
Here are a few states that I looked up for their tag prices. Another quick mention, many of the surrounding states offer up multiple deer with their non-res tags.
MO-- 17 - 225 -- 1 deer tag
AR --17 - 350 -- 6 deer tags
also offer 1-3-5 day tags with multiple tags
KS--42.50 - 442.50 (I think theirs is a lotto system)
IL -- 12.50 -- 57.50 1 tag
KY -- 35 - 185 -- 4 deer tags
TN -- 34 - 214 -- 4 tags
TX -- 25 - 315 --6 deer tags
So I am unsure where they are getting their prices from on the list on my email.
My reasoning for Hunting MO, is I hunt with my family there. They live there. I don't mind the price of the tag, but I think the hike in price is uncalled for unless we are offered multiple tags.
MDC proposes changes to nonresident permits
Proposed changes include price increases and discounts for nonresident landowners.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is proposing price increases for some nonresident hunting and fishing permits. According to MDC, permit prices have not been raised in over a decade and adjustments are needed to help keep up with increasing costs of providing conservation work and services around the state.
MDC is also proposing offering discounted deer and turkey permits for nonresident landowners with 75 acres or more to show appreciation for wildlife habitat work completed on their Missouri properties. The discount for nonresident landowners is similar to a past regulation that was in effect until 2009. MDC eliminated the offering during its last round of permit changes in 2008.
"We commonly hear from many Missourians that our nonresident permit prices are too low compared to other states," said MDC Director Sara Parker Pauley. "Increasing prices for nonresident hunting and fishing permits will address this. It will also add needed revenue to help with our ever-rising costs of managing the fish, forests, and wildlife of Missouri."
While some MDC permit prices have remained the same since 1999 and others for about a decade, MDC's costs for goods and services have increased. According to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index, consumers are paying 37% more today for goods and services compared to 2003.
MDC is proposing price increases for the nonresident permits listed below. The listing shows current MDC prices for the permits, proposed increased permit prices, and the average prices of similar permits from surrounding states. MDC based its permit price increases on information from the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index related to cost-of-living increases from 2008 to 2018.
NONRESIDENT PERMIT CURRENT $ PROPOSED $ $ NEIGHBOR STATES
Daily Fishing (1 Day) $7 $8 $15
Daily Fishing (3 Days) $21 $24 $27
NR Annual Fishing $42 $49 $49
NR Furbearer Hunting/Trapping $130 $192 $257
NR Annual Small Game Hunting $80 $94 $111
Daily Small Game (1 Day) $11 $14 $59
Daily Small Game (3 Days) $33 $42 $74
NR Conservation Order $40 $47 Not Applicable
NR Spring Turkey Hunting $190 $224 $206
NR Fall Turkey Hunting $110 $130 $177
NR Firearm Deer Hunting $225 $265 $361
NR Archery Hunting $225 $265 $398
NR Managed Deer Hunting $225 $265 Not Applicable
Nonresidents account for nearly 100% of daily fishing permit purchases and daily small-game hunting permit purchases. As part of the changes, MDC will also limit daily fishing permits and daily hunting permits to 1 and 3 days and eliminate daily fishing permits and daily hunting permits for other numbers of days (2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days).
MDC is proposing increasing prices for the following nonresident (NR) permits and proposing permit discounts for nonresident (NR) landowners with a minimum of 75 acres:
NR PERMIT CURRENT PRICE PROPOSED PRICE PROPOSED NR LANDOWNER PRICE
Spring Turkey $190 $224 $165
Fall Turkey $110 $130 $96
Archery $225 $265 $195
Firearm Deer $225 $265 $195
The proposed changes were given initial approval by the Missouri Conservation Commission at its May 23 meeting. As part of the rulemaking process, MDC is asking for public comment on the changes during July and early August at short.mdc.mo.gov/Z49. The Commission will consider input received and make a final decision to move forward, modify, or withdraw the changes during its Aug. 23 meeting. If approved, the anticipated effective date of the changes would be Feb. 29, 2020.
MDC permit sales account for about 17 percent of the agency's annual revenue and help fund numerous conservation efforts around the state. Other significant revenue sources include the Conservation Sales Tax at about 61 percent and federal reimbursements at about 16 percent. Sales and rentals, interest, and other sources make up the remaining 6 percent of MDC revenue.
According to MDC, the average Missourian pays about $19 annually for conservation efforts through the Department's dedicated sales tax revenue. MDC receives no funding from property taxes, tickets or citations (which go to local school districts), or the state's general revenue budget. For more information on MDC revenue, expenses, and key conservation efforts, read the MDC Annual Review in the January 2019 issue of the Missouri Conservationist, or online at mdc.mo.gov/conmag.

It’s under Missouri Outdoors News
your IL pricing is not accurate, that $57.50 is only for the hunting license.
Let's just raise non residents deer tags to match KS. That should make mdc an extra dollar or two.
Its not fair,
I like it......
I like it......
Cut it to a one buck only also like KS and you have yourself a deal. You're getting the chance at 2 bucks in MO for the price of one in KS...Let's just raise non residents deer tags to match KS. That should make mdc an extra dollar or two.
Missouri Dept of Conservation gets a 1/8 of one cent of all of Missouri’s sales taxes. That will generate close to 92 million dollars this year in funding most states conservation agencies don’t get. Our resident tag prices shouldn’t cost as much as other states since MDC isn’t solely funded by license sales.
NR tag increase is way over due
Raise it higher
Raise it higher
:tup::tup:NR tag increase is way over due
Raise it higher
:boohoo:
As 20’ said, you’re numbers for IL are not even remotely close. Residents pay $25 for one any deer if memory is correct. $12.50 is one antlerless permit for residents. NR are $300 for one firearms any deer plus the habitat stamp for ~$50. Archery is $400.
Also where are the Iowa numbers to compare?
And just so we’re clear, you’re advocating for a nearly 50% increase resident permits and complaining about a less than 20% increase in NR? Got it... you’re probably preaching to the wrong crowd here.

At least non resident landowners landowners are getting a little discount. With the problems lack of fur prices bring maybe they should pay non residents to trap not try and charge them for work that needs to get done.
Colorado I had to pay $100 to just get a point not a tag!
Could be worse.
Could be worse.
A lot of people don't realize how much the MDC gets from the 1/8 of 1 cent sales tax. There is rumble now that we are going to vote on it again. I think they see the writing on the wall and knowing the sales tax will fail they will need additional funding.Missouri Dept of Conservation gets a 1/8 of one cent of all of Missouri's sales taxes.

If the MDC loses that sales tax revenue....it’s a freaking travesty.
Raising the price won’t stop anyone from hunting the state regardless so all that will happen is the state will get more money to spend inefficiently just like every other state lol.They can do with they want I can see tag prices in the next 10 years in every state just about for non residents being over $400 for 1 tag
That's the worst part is they won't have anything to show for the tag increase and then will need even more money.Raising the price won't stop anyone from hunting the state regardless so all that will happen is the state will get more money to spend inefficiently just like every other state lol.They can do with they want I can see tag prices in the next 10 years in every state just about for non residents being over $400 for 1 tag
Number one state for Boone and Crockett. Wisconsin.... $160 for nonresident s. Nieghbors Minnesota. $185 for non residents. Just saying
I'll vote for reciprocal tags - NRLO $122.50 - Nebr
