[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5586210, member: 2805"] Sure the state (any state) could ban all nonresidents from hunting or fishing within the state. They already do ban harvest of certain fish (under size limit, over creel limit is illegal to harvest). But gotta remember, those nonresidents bring in big $$$ in license fees. The states WANT NRs to come. But revenue generation is secondary to protecting the resource and ensuring it is sustainable indefinitely. With turkey hunting in the past 3 years, the number of NRs flooding onto the public lands was getting to the point where it might have resulted in complete overharvest of the resource, as well as create even more unsafe/crowded hunting conditions. As much as the state wanted to sell another 1000 NR turkey tags, it just wasn't in the best interest of the resource. We will see the same thing happen out west before too long. Turkey tags will no longer be unlimited as populations collapse. [/QUOTE]
