It was a waste of time to put that bill out there but I can tell you that it was done to get some attention to a growing problem. South Dakota was the first neighboring state to do it and that was to limit the non residents to 10 days for pheasant season. Then north dakota followed and I believe they also limited duck/goose seasons as well. Yet in Minnesota, they can come here and enjoy unlimited pheasants, duck, geese, and fish walleyes to their heart's content. Is that fair?? I understand that they have more pheasants/ducks/geese than Minnesota which if anything should mean more opportunity than less but it's going to bite them back some day. There was another bill that was presented in Minnesota aimed at North and South Dakota which would require them to license their boats 4 times per summer if they fish our waters and it wouldn't be cheap. It was pulled recently and I'm not sure why at this point. I heard it had to due with funding. My point is that all limiting non residents is going to do is hurt sportsmen and also the businesses that make money from them. There are tons of North and South Dakotans that fish our waters and have done so for many years. Some day soon it appears we will be joining other states and limiting outsiders as well. Not sure how I feel about that. Just wanted to say that I have nothing against any hunters from North/South Dakota as they don't make the laws...
