Good posting, Shato!

yeah that's a big10-4

Another big 10-4 - Field and Stream had an awesome article earlier in the year talking about how non-residents fund alot of the programs in the western states. Without them these programs wouldn't exist. Take Wyoming for example. I think residents make up $1 million of revenue and non-res $13 million (just hunting and fishing fees/licenses, etc.) All of that money goes right back into the G&F budget. Without that much revenue, programs like Access Yes, landowner free walk through programs, wildlife habitat programs,hunter awareness,cheap hunter education of our kidsand many more wouldn't exist.

The bottomline is just because you live across the stateline from another state doesn't make you a jerk, bad hunter or "in the way". Bad hunters, unethical, lazy and jerks shouldn't be labeled by their residency of a certain state, but by their actions! Plus, non-res fees allow programs to exist that benefit us all.
