It does make you budget the trip a little more sometimes.  I was talking to a friend today and he was talking about one state that he's never hunted because of the tag cost but he drives 400 miles farther to hunt another state than is now higher than the initial state.  My wife calls it being hyper fixated.  I personally don't let the license cost deter me from hunting any given state but if it's stupid high it will deter me from making a return trip.

Pricing has definitely made a difference to me, but I have paid really cheap prices in the past and I guess this levels it out some. Heck I used to buy a tag in NY for $72.00. Way back in the dark ages I hunted turkeys in Montana on an upland game bird license, the same tag as you bought for pheasants. Back then about any ranch would let you turkey hunt, but don't dare ask about hunting pheasants or grouse. I have spent thousands on gas, lodging and food. The cheap part has always been the tag. Heck if the Mrs. and I decide to go visit the daughter in South Dakota (from Ohio) we will spend around $3,000.00 and just run around. My answer is, I'd like to keep it cheap, but the tag is still the cheap part of a hunt unless your just jumping across  a state line. I live an hour from Ky and I can drive down and hunt and back home the same day, but still burn $30.00 in gas and another $25.00 in food. I pay a little over $300.00 for all those tags, but hunt around 12 to 15 days a year there. If the mood strikes me I'll go shoot some doves there too. So my short answer is If I want to go the tag cost won't stop me, but generally I would flinch at anything over $350.00 for a single bird. As I get older my age is more of a restraint

I'm with you guys.  I don't really hunt anything else but turkey.  I'd have to pay the extra money. Maybe it's wrong of me but I don't watch YouTube videos that these "hunting groups" like the hunting public and others put out anymore.  Probably doesn't mean anything to them but makes me feel better that I'm not supporting them.

Considering what we pay for everything else when traveling ( reliable trucks, airline tickets, rental houses, gas, food, equipment, etc) I would imagine most people that travel don't give the license price too much of a thought.
