[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 2477595, member: 13632"] I think there is a large movement to push non resident hunting to outfitters, I think the outfitter associations carry enough dollars to buy into the political process for one and it also accomplishes the goal of many residents everywhere to conserve what is left for those who are residents. There are serious solutions that need to be made in many states because of the over population of wolves and out of state hunters. MT has taken a different tact, we'll give outfitters and certain land owners a pile of tags to sell AND they are basically swinging the doors wide open. So they cash in on the rampant slaughter of game left on public lands while making sure the outfitters and land owners can cash in on the game when everything is pushed onto private land. The resident and the DIY non resident is SOL and hunt quality is at a low point!! At this point in SW MT quality mule deer hunting would take 10-15 years to come back if all of area would go to a draw only but they keep it open for either sex on a general deer tag, in a unit that 10 years ago you could take kids into and kill 3 point bucks with relative ease and if you put some effort in a 180 class buck was doable last year we scoured the area and found 2 forked horn bucks and about 20 does. I watched a group of out of state hunters wipe out an entire herd of mule deer, they didn't know or care the reason every local drive past them was that was all that was left in that drainage. I don't know if WY plan will work but be glad it's not the MT plan!! [/QUOTE]
