[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2105672, member: 101859"] Everyone thinks local places make all their money on tourism. I live in Dillon, no one would go under if those 5 weeks disappeared. The real money around here is cattle. I have never heard anyone talk about that season being critical. I know a few biz owners around here. Theres only so many rooms a hotel can rent, seats a restaurant fill, and hunters a guide can take. Aside from the few guides, I seriously doubt this town would know the difference. I lived in Florida too, tourists thought they kept that economy going too. Well, 6 months of the year they were gone, and life continued. I dont support that bill because I dont like gov. telling folks what they can do, but the argument that out of state dollars is that critical doesnt work for me. The vast majority of hunters that come to this area, and its a lot, camp out of town. They are not in hotels and restaurants or bars. Some are, but I would bet the biggest boom we get is at the grocery store and gas station. [/QUOTE]
