RE: Thoughts on non-resident fees...
Sorry for the lack of clarity... that's exactly what I was meaning, Coug. The normal, low fee if you were only hunting your state, but then you could buy a non-specific "out-of-state" license...
Or, perhaps even better, rather than punish those who live one mile from the state line, geographic zones could be offered... 400 miles and in from your zip code. It could easily be checked and tracked via computer. THAT would be a lot more fair... Think about those people who live around those little tiny states over on the east coast? I bet they could easily drive three or four hours and go through four or five states... Something like that would make a lot more sense for people in their situation...
