[QUOTE="themanpcl, post: 5834642, member: 12032"] Interesting topic. I began hunting out of state in 2008. I discovered the permit/license fees were high but I figured they are just using out of state money to fund their wildlife efforts. You know, like the city of nashville bilks ooodles of money from motel fees, taxi fees etc... from visitors. So this brings up different feelings by state residents. I have encountered some that really aren't aware of how much their state benefits monetarily from out of state hunters. They see them as "coming in here to take my deer"... Understanding that this only applies to public land - The questions I ask are 1) Is the state just offering hunting to out of state folks for the monetary gain or are they taking into consideration the effect on the wildlife population? Most do control the number of permits sold and limits on harvests by out of state hunters. 2) The fact that the wildlife and public hunting land in theory belong to the people of the state, shouldn't offering out of state access be subject to a vote/referendum by the state? The state should have to explain why they are selling state resources for profit. 3) Does the state take into consideration the effect on residents who only have public land to hunt? These people should always be put first. If the state wants to price out the regular hunting guys, it is within their right to so. If Il does that, I'll miss it but such is life. [/QUOTE]
