Default RE: Resident vs. Nonresident

i live in BC canada, and i have mixed feelings about non residents having the right to hunt here, i mean, i feel that i myself should be able to hunt anywhere i want, so of course they have a right to hunt too, but what bugs me, and i am not saying that this happens is that i feel that the province or state should only allow a certain amount of tag to be drawn for the non resident, i mean i have been tryingto land a moose tag for about 4 years now and havent got it, luckly for me i was able to shoot a moose every year legally, but you know i still want to be able to get that 10 pionter, but it seems alot of people outside of where i live, and even in the same provine as me but they live 8 hours south of me seem to get the tags, i know it is luck of the draw, but it gets frustrating when you live about 30 min from prime moose hunting areas, and these out of towners get the draws and you dont. so like i said i have mixed feelings on this subject, i think what the wildlife guys should do (maybe they allready are) is that if you get a draw one year you should be exempt from next years draw to give other people a chance, and then of course the following year after that they can apply again, seems fair to me dont you think? i know of people that have gotten a draw 2-3 times in a row and know of others that have been applying for 10 years and havent got one, so i dontknow what system they use but i think it should change. phew, i guess i needed to vent a little, thanks for listening to my opinions.
