RE: Out of state hunters
For the states that get over run by out of state hunters, like mine and a few others, then you should see how frustrating it is to deal with. Most residents here only hunt thisstate. They could care less how muchmoney the state brings in when they are being over taken by non resident hunters. Most of the pressure here comes from the southern states that want to come to Ky to kill their dream buck like they see in all the magazines. Our public land is hunted to death and the residents are just fed up with not being able to have a decent place to hunt in their own state.
I for one would pay double what I do now to hunt my state if they would limit the number of non residents. I'm not looking down on them but I think the hunters of this stateshould come first.
Most people around here have stopped hunting Higginson & Henry (a 5000 acre wma ) because it gets completely over run with NR's. I mean at least 10 to 1 or more. I just hope as deer herds and big buck opportunities increase in other state that it spreads the pressure around more.
