Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking comment on the 2008 Nonresident Combination hunting license tentative annual rule. The FWP Commission adopted the tentative rule at its Sept. 27 meeting. The tentative rule does not change the price of nonresident combintaion licenses in the general category, the rule includes price changes only for the outfitter-sponsored big game, elk and deer combination licenses and new target quotas for the big game and deer licenses as follows: * an increase in the price of the variable priced outfitter-sponsored big game combination license from $1,195 to $1,500; an increase in the price of the variable priced outfitter-sponsored elk combination license from $1,095 to $1,400, with a quota of 5,000 licenses to be sold; * an increase in the price of the variable priced outfitter-sponsored deer combination license from $845 to $1,100, with a quota of 2,000 licenses to be sold.
The tenative rule also includes changes in issuance of outfitter sponsored licenses. To address concerns with abuse by individuals using outfitter sponosred licenses without the use of a licesned outfitter, licenses will be sent to the outfitter and not the client.
The tentative annual rule for 2008 nonresident combination licenses is available for review on the FWP web site. Comments may be sent until Oct. 23 from the web site; by email to hworsech@mt.gov, or by mail to: Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, Licensing Division, PO Box 200701, Helena, MT 59620-0701. To obtain a print copy of the rule call 406-444-2663.
After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found it’s a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the company’s claim it derives from a saying they have up north, “I’ve got it!” 
Why are the nonresident licenses so expensive? What are your thoughts on how these steep licensing fees are keeping more and more fathers and sons from traveling abroad and hunting new places? Also, I am curious as to why there was an increase of $305 to the outfitter sponsored license fees? What is the justification to this increase?
I agree with Marc. I believe that the drawing cost is $643 and the Outfitters cost is $1500.00. That is $857.00 difference. That is to high. If Montana wants more people coming to their beautiful state than this could be cut at leat in half. And I believe that All states in the US should have a reduced rate of 50% or more for non resident Disabled veterans of 50% or more disabliliy. CA has a reduced rate of I believe $4.00 for disabled vets with 50% and no cost for 70% or more disability.
