The resident, non-resident issue seems to be a big thing in the mid-western states. I live in Mass, and hunt the New England area, and the regulations for residents and Non-residents are pretty much the same. It's a bit more difficult to draw a moose tag as a non-resident, but that's about it.

I would have to say, in this Minnesota/North Dakota dispute, the only way to make a change is to make people want a change, so Minn. should adopt a states reciprocity clause into their regs. Any state that limits the number of days afield of non-residents shall be subject to the same days afield restriction. N.D. hunters can't expect to receive privelege out of state better than they're willing to extend to others. If they want more time to hunt in Minn., they can allow other more time to hunt in N.D.
