Is Utah's Big Game Price Increase Actually About Reducing Public Land Advocacy?

I'm going to warn you right now, this article is purely tinfoil hat type stuff. I have no proof. I have no evidence. What I am channeling into this is more on par with Charlie Day's epic It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia conspiracy wall. But that doesn't mean it isn't true, you know?

What I want to talk about, and slightly rant about, is Utah's legislature pushing through a budget bill that increases the fees on non-resident hunters. And not just by a little, but by a whole lot. Normally, these types of things wouldn't be something RideApart covers. Yes, it's in the hunting space, which we've been talking about lately, but it doesn't have anything to do with using public lands or powersports at face value. It just sorta sounds like a bunch of politicians demanding more money from non-resident hunters. 

But to me, there's something that feels pretty sinister within this increase. At least, if it's not just me being cynical.
