If the states really wanted to increase the amount of money brought into their fish & game for their project to better manage the game, they'd lower their non-res. tags, not to the level of resident, but to a level where the average hunter could make it happen more often.
It may seem counter intuitive, but it's like lowering certain taxes that encourage more to invest in capital improvements, buy new equipment, start more businesses, etc., which results in higher total revenue to the gov't.
But the real driving force is the nature of man to prevent this that thinks I want to keep things all to myself, raise non-res. fees,resulting in less total money for such game enhancing projects and less game for all to hunt.
