They don't have $50,000 to pay for the tag.

It's kind of a strange, strange world. Hunting permits are sold at a high price. Hunters can't take all the meat back with them, even if they wanted to. So the country/tribe/community benefits in a number of ways by having hunters come.

First - the hunter pays permits, which helps pay for game management (which in some areas could be their most important resource as far as providing financially for all involved.)

Second - the hunter provides jobs. He's paying the people working at the hotel/ranch home that he's staying at. Cooking, cleaning, etc. Next, he's paying for a professional guide, for the trackers, skinners, etc.

Third - the meat is always given to the tribe to use. Some hunters eat some of the meat - prepared for them at the place they are staying. But the majority of the meat is used by the villagers.

Professional hunting is one of the few things some of these villages have going as far as providing them with these things.
