Default RE: Resident vs. Nonresident

ORIGINAL: mybigredford

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.


mybridgeford, I agree with you,but it all goes back to Money.When I use to go to Alberta,
last time in 1995, it cost me over 6k.That's all including,Trip cost,Outfitters,$800 t0 $1000 to have
it mounted, Tips for the guides and all the rest we spent in Alberta.Now count all the nonresident
hunters that go every year,it's in the Millions of $$$'s..
Tell all the Outfitters,Guides,Taxidernmist, Hunting Tags and all that make a living at it, in BC and other parts,that you want to controll nonresidents...I wonder what they have to say!!
WE feel the same as you here in Florida,about the Salt Water Sport Fishing.But the State and everybody
is making Millions.Half the time we half to move out further to fish,cause of the nonresident's bunched up
where the easy fishing is best.I don't care how much they have to pay,they will still come!!
It's not the hunters Fault....You have to have your Law's changed,but they are making MILLIONS with
Nonresidents!!!!
