I have hunted in many different states and I don't see a problem with non-resident hunters. I have several that hunt right next to my land in Minnesota and they are a great bunch of guys. Actually nicer than some of the locals. What I don't like is locals that think they own everything including other peoples private land. I had a guy stop in this year to ask about hunting and I said go ahead...even told him where to go. Funny thing is is his family is from the local area and had told him I was the biggest a$$hole there was. I asked him how would they know....I've never even met them and they have never bothered to ask about hunting. But they sure are good about trying to sneak on or shoot deer out of their car windows in my fields.

Another thing I think they should do is make it a recipricol fee for non-residents. Whatever their state charges me to hunt there that is what my state should charge them. For example I would have to pay $290.00+ for a deer tag in Colorado, therefore anyone from Colorado should have to pay that same ammount for a deer tag in MN. By the way MN has one of the cheaper non-resident tags that I have seen.
