I thought that the plan was to raise the resident fees, but not the NR fees? At least for this year.

Being a NR hunter, I hope they don't raise the fees. For the few days I get to hunt during the season, it's getting extremely expensive. I own land near the U.P., and even though I am 5 minutes south of the WI border (no I'm not a Bears fan), the gas for that trip can cost me around $200, plus the food, plus the processing fees, plus the license, plus equipment, plus my taxes, electrical, gas....

Why should I have to pay $300-$500 for my license, when the majority of my money for my hunting trip goes to the state of WI to begin with. Want to talk about tax dollars? I pay taxes on my property. A lot more than the resident fees for the hunting license.

I don't understand why there has to be a difference anyway. NR comming into the state spend money. NR who will no longer come into the state due to excessive license fees will spend their money elsewhere.
