No, no, your a kalifornian! Just by your posts you areone deep inside.,
Lol, ok fine... Then this Californian can hunt circles around you. Does that make you feel better?
Oh and I am an American. You people are complaining about our court system and their rulings, not me.

The intent of this thread was about states rights and the attempt our US Senators are doing to secure those rights.
That is what I am doing. Btw, the proposed bill has been able to stand on it own feet and has tried to attach itself to two other bills but has failed.
Notice that the majority of the senators supporting the bill are from states that have been sued (Nevada) and the state he has in his sights (wyoming).

I as a resident should have some privielege towrds hunting licenses. We pay taxes, work, spend 90% of our income in our states, support schools, businesses, and communities.
Are you trying to say that non-residents don't spend money in these states? That would be a rather foolish stance to take since many of these states have only 2 lucrative industries... outdoor tourism and selling their land to Californians.
Please explain what paying taxes has to do with anything? These Wildlife Departments are completely funded by tag and license revenues.
When it comes to the University of Wyoming, your kids should get preference because of your taxes but, when it comes to hunting and wildlife, your arguement doesn't hold water.
Since we are on the topic of taxes... if you get pulled over in Idaho, should your traffic violation cost you 10x what a resident would pay?
I mean the troopers are funded by that resident's taxes and the Idaho Dept of Transportation maintains those roads so you should pay more right?

As soon as the bill passes the senate this argument will be settled. Not over but settled. And for those that don't want to pay $490 for an elk tag, don't!!!! Some one else will!
The practice is wrong but people are willing to pay so screw you?
Lol, I hope that one day that not a single non-resident applies to hunt your state's rag horns so you are saddled with a $2400 elk tag (what arizona is now charging non-residents) and we will see how quickly you yell "Foul!"....
I am thinking that all your big talk is just that talk... You'd be on here whining if they just doubled your elk tag cost let alone set them at non-resident prices.
Btw, this bill won't pass the senate from all indications.
