What license is hard for a resident to get?
I certainly don't think it's because non-residents are getting all those tags...CO has a large population compared to many western states, so of course more people applying in their home state means less chance of drawing.
I find it funny how many residents of western states refuse to hunt another state...especially when their home state has horrible odds for a particular specie, but a state or two away has great odds. I'm always a non-res out west, so I apply to just about every western state. But residents of MT, CO, etc...only apply to their home state, least that's what most say when I bump into them.
