BS, It is not based on fairness, it is based on supply and demand. If you can front the cash, you have just as good of chance as the next out of state shmoe trying to get a tag. Heres a thought, why should any tags be set aside for non-residents when there is a limited resident draw? Why the hell should somebody from out of state even be allowed to put in for a moose tag, when residents can't even hunt them w/o special draw?
Why shouldn't a non-resident have at least a slim chance to come out and hunt on US Forest service land in MT for a hard to draw tag/hunt? After all, isn't Forest Service land in MT just as much mine as it is yours?
I guess all the land in the western states must be private or state owned land??
