As an out of state hunter myself, I'm in NY, the deer are plentiful here, I have private ground to hunt on, I busted my but to get permission on them.One reason that most people go out of state to hunt is for a vacation to get away from life's stresses. We all love the outdoors too. Maybe it's to get game that your state dosen't have, such as elk or moose. I'm a die hard bowhunter, Illinois offers something that I cannot get in NY, a 12hr ride with your best friend on a hunting trip. I go to Illinois to get away and maybe get a buck of a lifetime, not saying that it can't happen here, but there is something magical about hunting in another state, you don't know what to expect when you get there. Sure outfitting can be a dirty buisness not anymore dirty than our goverment. We are not all dirty out of staters, we are just like you, blue collar, farm fed, and hard working people who choose to spend time in your state chasing what we all dream of. MAKING MEMORIES
