[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1836438, member: 34818"] I think New Mexico has the right idea. Every hunt is a random draw, no points system. 84% of the tags go to residents, 10% go to residents and non-residents who apply with an outfitter and 6% go to non-residents who apply without an outfitter. You either have a bow hunt, a muzzleloader hunt or a rifle hunt for all the species that you draw. You don't get to go from bow to rifle with the same tag. That's just insane. Archery hunts are 2 weeks long and there are 2 hunts per unit. Rifle hunts here are 5 days and there are only 2 hunts per unit and there are muzzleloader hunts as well. I am a non-resident for Montana so you can't really call me a non-resident hater. They should shorten the hunts, give out less tags for a while for the game to recover, only have one hunt type draws (if you draw archery, you can only hunt archery not both archery and rifle). Go to a random draw for residents and non-residents and give the majority of the tags to residents. I'm sorry easterners or other non-residents, if you really want to hunt elk that bad, move to a state that has them. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
