Changes to MT Upland Season - Resident Priority Takes Effect This Year

Folks recognize that if you want to kill a limit of birds from the trip you can't let those GD outsiders in chasing them off the gravel shoulders but also can't buy an 18 pack of beer if they have to pay a reasonable license fee, so they're going to drive around for the first week and kill all the dumb fledglings but then open-er up for the people actually willing to pay for conservation...

I'm being facetious.

But MT (and WY and ID and CO) is privileged that no matter how badly they screw up their wildlife, other states will have screwed theirs up worse and can bank on NRs waiting in line, with wads of greenbacks, for an opportunity at the last scrap.
Yep. And no matter what the problem is, the solution/answer is always further restricting or getting rid of non-residents.

This is not meant to be a challenge to Ben Lamb’s quite well-stated summary and reasonable justification of said regulation. Merely a recognition of the general trend.

MT - around 25k deer tags
ID - 15.5 K
WY - 13k
CO - 17K, per a previous poster

Which state is rude to your nr again?
