[QUOTE="Vann Kirkland, post: 2348568, member: 108310"] [I]I’m tired about western states crying about nonresident hunters. I just returned from Colorado’s Combined Third OTC Elk. Colorado closed roads to benefit private ranches, which results in them having more private land at the expense of all others. They sold 280 deer tags for the combined second season in the GMU I hunted, where they only sold 5 last year, in addition to the elk tags. The result was only seeing elk on private fenced property. The Gunnison Parks office catered to residents that walked in behind us and attempted to cut in line by calling the workers by name and waking ahead. It wasn’t until I spoke up that the workers corrected themselves and the problem they created. Nonresidents by far spend more money than the residents on hunting activities in your states. You bettered realize where your funding is coming from before it’s too late. I spent more in application fees, points mandatory small game license, then a combined fishing license before I ever left home, than ANY resident will in 4-5 years. Colorado is sinking fast, and you residents need to upright your ship before it’s too late. You have allowed wolves to be voted in, and will soon be seeing the results of your inaction, as now PETA has large voice now in YOUR game management.[/I] [/QUOTE]
