Non resident hunters
I don't have a problem withnon resident hunters hunting in my state as long as they pay for their tag and hunt ethically. Does anyone else feel this way or not?

RE: Non resident hunters
As a non-res hunter quite often, I do wish non-res/res fees were much closer in price.
How come a res may pay $50 for a elk tag, and a non-res $500 or more...? I find I think about 10x is the standard multipliar, or perhpas 8x...
It's funny to joke around, go home....hunt your own state, especially when you have some pride about your own state. But in reality we're all hunters, some nicer more accomidating than others. But we're all in the same boat for the most part.

Nope...I love it when they don't pay for it and are unethical.

RE: Non resident hunters
Funny story.
I hunt in both WI & IL. I am an IL resident. I drive a vehicle with WI plates. We have permission to hunt on some land that another group of hunters does also, just different areas of the property. Last time I ran into one of the other guys in the field, he goes "oh, you're one of the Wisconsin guys" hahaha...
I was like actually... I'm from Illinois, but yeah, I'm one of the Wisconsin guys. :rolleyes

RE: Non resident hunters
I don't mind paying more to hunt as a non-res, just wish that so many of the states didn't make you buy a hunting license just to apply for what amounts to in many cases, very hard tags to draw.
I'm not sure if MN still does it this way, but I always thought there NR fee structure was clever (at least for deer, not sure on anythingn else).... Basically, you paid what your state would charge their reidents.... At least it was kinda fair....

I think that non-res licenses should be reciprocal between states. That would be fair.

I too hunt ILL and WI. I live in WI and drive a vehicle with WI plates. I don't find it to be funny that I have to pay $450+ for a season deer license to hunt ILL, when ILL hunters only have to pay $177 for a season license to hunt WI. [:@]

RE: Non resident hunters
It would be cool to be able to hunt in Montana where I was born and raised for "resident" rates. I live in Florida but it would cost me an arm and a leg to go back "home" to hunt. Annoying.
