[QUOTE="Deleted member 115374, post: 1995947"] Another part of this equation in Mt. and probably other western states that fuels the fire against non-resident hunters is the fact that hundreds of thousands of acres are being bought up by wealthy out of staters ie: Texas, California and other states as well. The first thing they do is lock the gates and close it to hunting, which is fine I guess- its their property - but they are also shutting off access to Federal, State, BLM, Bureau of Reclamation lands that previously had legal access. Currently in Montana there are multiple lawsuits being tied up in court by litigious non residents who just don't care whether it is public ground or not. So from a residents perspective when you lose public ground to Entitled wealthy out of staters then try to find a new place to hunt only to run into more non resident hunters you tend to cringe every time you see an out of state plate in the area. The people who are shutting hunters out of public ground only compounds the problem by focusing more hunters on less available public ground. Some people out there may not like to hear this - It is what it is and if you are a resident its not good. [/QUOTE]
