[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 248416, member: 3733"] It's a shame that at least 3 members who reside in Montana would have such ill feelings towards non-residents, seemingly lumping them all into one catagory. This offends me, and probably a good number of members here, who travel to the western states every year. I understand their frustration, I use to hunt the renowned Buffalo county, but leases and trophy bucks have made free access out of the question, partly due to outfitters and non-res hunters. Would I describe those hunters as Nonya has? No, the fact that money moves the world is no suprise here. I've hunted out west since 98, I have never had the pleasure of hunting Montana, but have hunted in both WY and CO. I typically only hunt public land, unless I am invited elswhere. Every year I load up my 10 year old truck with 15 year old camping gear and 5 year old hunting clothes. I may only stay in a hotel twice once on the way out and once back. Tags are expensive and those funds greatly help the states game departments. Why do I do It? Because it is a vacation, I love the west and enjoy the times shared with friends and familly on the mountain. Do I think I'm going to kill an animal every year, of course not. In fact of the 13 out of state tags I've bought I have harvested only 5 animals. I would love to hunt Montana, but would hate to arive there and be pigeon holded into a cookie cutter image of a slob out of stater. If gamedog, Nonya, and I were to meet under normal conditions, I'm sure we would get along well and have interesting conversations and may-be grab some beers. But from the attitudes shown on this particular topic, I'm sorry to say if I came to Montana hunting, I would rather not meet them in the field. Everyone has stories to tell about;tresspassers, poor shooters, 4 wheelers, ignorant landowners, being kicked off public lands, someone claiming your animal, ect. It happens in every state. Res. and non-res alike. Don't let that stop anyone from hunting in any state they choose, you may just miss out on an opportunity to meet some very nice people, and have a great hunt. [/QUOTE]
