We'll in my state if they didn't we'd be over run with OOS hunters. Remember, the citizens of the state paying taxes come first, as they should. If you'd like to hunt in our state then you pay the fee. Some states as mine have very limited opportunities for big game hunting and most of the times it takes MANY years to draw a tag.In as much as state wildlife agencies have received billions of federal dollars in funding over the years, how is it that they can justify charging non-residents (US citizens) exorbitantly greater fees than state residents? Just curious.
