[QUOTE="Bob S., post: 42323, member: 2927"] I agree with you guys for the most part. I don't know 1 western state that doesn't screw the out of state hunters, some more so than others. How many skiers would travel to Co to ski if the lift tickets were 100 times the resident price? I guess hunters are so passionate about it they grumble and pay the fees, to some extent. Its not just hunting thats unfair to non locals because in many places hotels, fast food restaurants, any tourist type of service/ activity also tack on additional fees. Colleges and universities also kill the out of stater. I don't want to see the resident and non resident tag quotas the same however. I should be able to hunt in my backyard without having to lottery for it. I pay taxes here, I live here, I work here, I support the economy 365 days a year, I should be able to hunt here. I can't afford the time or money to go out of state and if I have to compete against an out of stater just to get a tag I may not be able to hunt at all. I think the courts and politicians should stay out of it and let the state F&G decide whats best with input from the hunting public both res and nonres. unfortunately this will not happen because of the revenue involved. This may all be mute anyway cause the gen public hunting lands are contiually shrinking and it doesn't matter if your a res or not if there is no place to hunt. I know my kids will be able to hunt but I'm not sure about grandkids. [/QUOTE]
