GFP gives out 25% of the tags to nonresidents, That equals more than one nonresident tag per sq. mile. IMO they should cut down the nonresident tags to 8%.
Off question a bit here....and having been forced to live in a neighboring state many years ago (CT)......are you being forced on threat of death to move there? Uggghhh. I have lived in all of the major regions of the US (Midwest, NE, SE, Intermountain West and West coast) and the NE (except...
I appreciate the input. I'm from the west coast originally. So hiking heavy elevation and long distances is nothing new to me. I'm in Chicago now for work and I'm just kind of tired of white tail hunting....well, rather, white tail hunting doesn't come soon enough lol. So we went to CO for black...
I can get a great price for flights to get out there, so much we are looking at Easter break week with 6 people to Tillamook to stay with family. Would i have more than "Your saying i have a chance" with zero points and non-residents getting only 3% of tags. Would want to hunt near Tillamook so...
Thank you both for the information. I actually have an application in for the Manhattan Wildlife Asso. That facility looks amazing and 50.00 annual fee is unheard of where I come from for a facility like that. I can't show up and "watch the film" to get a key card until late November, hence...
I’ve also been looking for a long time debating whether to buy land in my home state of NJ or a western state.
In the end, I decided on my home state. Why, you may ask, well because I live here and could use it all the time. As much as I would love to have a piece out west, I can’t justify it...
I was born and raised in Calif and moved to Co 1977. I did hunt in Calif, deer/bear/ducks and pheasant.
As a Non Resident if I was to hunt deer Calif I would put in for X Zones and maybe 6/7 yrs get tag. Cost be same for 1 blacktail. We have same here whitetail tag or mule deer. I don't...
I think that people will protect what you love. If you want to protect the heritage of hunting, having hunting land and the access to public land you just need to band together.
Here is the thing, The East, Mid West and West Coast has been overdeveloped in terms of use of resources and green...
Added it up and my wife and I have moved 7 times from 2011-present. Most were somewhat local, with one being a big move to a different state. We are in our 3rd place in ID since moving here, but should be in this one a bit longer. We did the move from MN to ID with our Honda CRV, Toyota Tundra...
The selfish part of me is upset by this, but I can understand why Wyoming would want to keep more opportunities for residents.
With decreasing value in NR preference points for MSG, my hope would be that eventually they would get rid of the preference option altogether and go random. I’m sure...
there are a lot of east west roads across the divide in this state, i don't think more will fix our main problems with i70
the problem is that the colorado rocky mountain ski resorts see about 24 million visits in a ski season, with the brunt of those visits taking place on resorts less than 20...
So do you currently live in Portland? I'm confused. I grew up on the OR border. Have spent a lot of time in P-town, though admittidly not in the last decade or so. But I still spend a ton of time in rural OR, plus I live in small town rural WA (which has the same issues with Seattle that you...
These threads and hunting caliber ridicule threads are my favorite for bandwagon sarcasm. My state is full, it's crowded, it's cold. I would think a family guy checking a hunting site for a potential move would be more welcome in a western state than some , well just say less desirable type...
I have drawn three goat hunts, one bull moose and zero bighorn ram. I apply every year in all the states out West other than CA and AK which offer non-residents tags for sheep or moose or goat. I have applied for 30 years though only about 20 years ago expanded to chase all those states. I...
I was the opposite job wise. Budget situation with Wyoming as a state employee had a very poor outlook. Wyoming is heavily dependent on mineral royalties for most of it's budget. They badly need to diversify the state's revenue streams. I did not feel secure at all and never new when the...
