Federal land is a conundrum. I love it but the federal land rich state residents do everything possible to keep me from enjoying it.



Please explain.

I'm a resident of a Federal land rich state and recreate and hunt in other such states as a non-resident and I don't have the same experience as you apparently. The residents of those states generally enjoy me spending my money in their states while enjoying OUR public lands. As a matter of fact, I'm traveling to one of those states for a 10 day hunt on federal land this coming Wednesday. Camping there will be free. Residents of the state, my friends old and new ones I may meet, will enjoy seeing me there.

Many, if not most Federal lands are open to the public to enjoy at little to no cost, some Fed parks and such require higher fees, some areas require a use permit, but the majority is wide open for your enjoyment.

Pretty sure he's referencing non resident license fees/quotas again.

Some people can not wrap their head around it being 2 totally separate issues.
