I believe I was standing at the window paying $300 bucks for an outfitters license and the clerk told me about the tags at $250 dollars times 5. It didn't take me two seconds to say no thanks. There are many rules to become an outfitter. Back when we were grandfathered in but today you have to work as a guide for a year or two before you can have an outfitters license. An outfitter must have $5 million dollars in insurance. Be current or certified in CPR. If you are hunting waterfowl and roaming between many landowners you will need to report who's land and date. You also have to pay an extra $200 to Game and Fish because they record your reporting. (sound like fun yet) If you are hunting birds there is no party hunting and all birds must be kept separate. When the birds are cleaned and stored, the guys can't leave for town while the outfitter has all the birds stored. Unless all birds are marked with the license number of each hunter. At the end of the day when everyone goes to town to drink beer, you the outfitter is sorting, cleaning, packaging and boxing each individuals fish or birds or whatever. I dropped my license. On the flip side I have no regrets. Made a lot of good friends and met some people that were great and some plane ass different. 90% were Republicans and only had 4 sportsmen in 12 years who were die hard democrats. The demographics was interesting. Welders, post office workers, electricians, farmers but never ever a United Auto Worker or other Union worker types. You know the ones....at work they talk about pussy and at the bar they talk about work.</blockquote>
