Re: Thought experiment


Do you think that the fact that the equivalent of a Sportsman license is over $700 for an out-of-staters doesn't limit nonresidents? Man, I hate to be negative but finding ideas to limit OTHERS for our own benefit never seems to end. [/quote]No i don't. I also see that you being an out of stater it benefits YOU to not have it changed. This is an opinion page and this is just for thought and obviously isn't going to happen. Your fine to share your opinion also and I think most of us welcome it. But don't always come in with an attitude towards others that have a different opinion than you.

Sorry if it seemed like an attitude, that's not my intention. I'll work on my presentation.

Honest question: If you think that a license cost that's over FOUR TIMES that of a resident doesn't limit the nonresident hunting pressure, do you think if they were the same price the pressure would be the same?

Although mainly deer, I hunt usually four or more areas of public ground regularly-a couple more on occasion. It has literally been YEARS since I've encountered another nonresident that I didn't bring with me physically. How much of an impact to you really feel this will make?

I also would guess....although I don't know for sure....that non resident sportsman license are sold far less than game specific like deer and turkey. I don't know what area you hunt but the wma I hunt gets loaded with non residents. But I know hunting publications have mentioned it in articles before and I've seen it mentioned several times on some out of state forums. As I said above I'm not arguing against non residents I just would like a week for residents. I would have no issue with seeing other states do the same. Even if we had the same hunting season as surrounding states and each state gave the first week to residents I still like this idea. I like that residents get the first shot (No pun intended) on game in their state. I do feel like residents are entitled to that. There are other states with similar laws that apparently don't have the major negative effect that some people feel like it would cause.

Re: Thought experiment

Ok. Maybe nonresident turkey hunting is a big thing and I didn't realize it. Do you see many nonresident deer hunters?

What about some sort of compromise? NR same price as resident and NR sit out first week. I agree that preference should exist in some form, but to what degree is a good balance is the question.

Yeah I'm cool with that compromise. Actually I like that if it was multiple states because I think that also helps people who don't make as much money and that could help others have different opportunities.

And as far as deer hunting you and I are on opposites lol. I don't deer hunt public just turkey hunt. So you have more knowledge concerning deer.

After all it seems like we have agreement lol. [emoji106]

We agree on a lot, thanks for pointing out I needed to check my attitude. I had a rough 48 at work with this ice and no sleep the second night going into 5 hour meeting. It snowballed into something I carried home and didn't even realize it.
