Well I'm gonna jump in here,but first off I have nothing against out-of state hunter(well some,and some yocall locals too.).

If Montana would close it's borders tohunters to out of State hunting,well YEAH!!! more for me to hunt right?
BUT!!!!!! lets look at the long run Mr. Trapper Dave.
Befor long everyone that want's to hunt out a state will be moving here,land prices go up even more,food,housing,taxes and on and on now we have a cost of living increases(not good,coming from a guy who only makes 35k a year and has 4 kids to raise)not counting the depletion of the game animals since the increase of pepole.You will be lucky to draw a antelope tag for the 700 reigon once that happens.
BUT!!!! one good thing might come about the ecomomy might get a good boost when all the BIG corporations see that all their workers are leaving the big city for the western-mid west states and create more jobs(At leastI will get more out of my 40K college degree).

I will settle for sharing what we have and be happy,you thinks it's crowded now wait 10 yrs,boy oh boy now we are talking some numbers on the Breaks.
Sorry but it's the truth,and this is coming from a NATIVE Montanan(moms grandparents settled one of the first ranches in Montana in the 1800's)
Let's all argue about something elese,hunting seson is almost here let's down grade the 270 some more and lets talk about what is your favorite man made elk call!!!!
BareBack Jack OVER and out 10-4 good buddies.
