[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2938774, member: 3230"] I didn't read every post on this thread, but I got the gist of it. I am a resident of Arizona but spend a lot of time at my place in Colorado (the flat 2.5% income tax keeps me an AZ resident). I can see both sides of the story. I have two vehicles with CO plates (one stays here permanently) so when I am out hunting I assume most people think I am a resident. I can almost feel the discomfort when I ask people where they are from; ran into some guys from TN/GA looking for an elk in 68/681 while scouting last week. Yesterday we were on our way to hump out a deer my buddy from Australia/Canada shot the evening before and ran into three guys from Maryland. These guys were working class guys - I am going to guess elk hunting for them is a pretty big deal. They were after elk (68/681 is OTC second season); we told them of a 5x4 we saw and showed them a video. When I was in my 20s you could pay a rancher in WY $200 and get access to hunt antelope. I haven't checked on the cost lately, but suspect guide leases have largely displaced "trespass fees." I hunted CO this year for antelope and paid an outfitter $3900. Sure, the guide was good, but honestly it would have been more fun to have done it on my own. At the end of the day I am the one who first glassed the antelope that I eventually killed. We are all hunters - when Joe the Plumber from Ohio concludes elk hunting in MT, CO, or WY is just too expensive or difficult, we all lose. [/QUOTE]
