P.S Someone give me a couple GOOD reasons why I can't hunt w/o a guide in some of the Western wilderness areas. Thanks.
The Wilderness is a rough area for city folks and even tough for residents who live there.
I personally have no problem with non-residents hunting the wilderness alone as long as they leave a deposit or bond and the name and number of the next of kin, so the local people get compensation for rescuing the lost hunter because of his inexperiance.
In my area it is common for an out of stater to get into trouble in the woods whether it be hiking,biking,camping or even fishing.
I think it's good insurance for a state to require a guide for the inexperianced out of state hunter instead of a deposit on a rescue.
The way I see the price of the Non-Resident tags... You are paying for a portion of the back state and local taxes as well as other expenses that I as a resident of the state have paid for years for management of the land and animals you wish to hunt in my state.
My opinion
