    Hey man, I drew 50 as a resident, and I work for the FS just south of 50&51. Are you non-res/have you hunted there before? I can probably help you out if you don't have experience here.

    Comparison of Resident Opportunities in Different States

    Hi all I've been a resident hunter in 3 different states so far throughout my life, Texas, South Dakota, and New Mexico. Each state has very different experiences for their resident hunters. I find it difficult to wrap my head around what opportunities resident hunters in other states are...

    Seeking info...school trust land fee states

    Every state I've hunted in requires an extra stamp on your hunting tag if you plan on hunting on public land. We all gotta pitch in for the management of these lands.i don't think that means they aren't public.
