PA has elk and there is a drawing every year. You pay for the chance to be picked. They even have an option where you pay to get another "point" for an elk tag without actually trying for a tag that year.
Fees collected from previous years were used to purchase the game lands. Now they make you pay to target shoot on the lands you already paid for. Same with the pheasant permit, now it's just another way to squeeze more money out of you.
