I'll miss coming every year and it doesn't seem fair that I'll be paying property taxes on land that I can't hunt.

I bought the place for hunting and I'm wondering if it's now worth less than I paid for it because it is less valuable to a nonresident buyer like me.

I'm still tryin to figure it all out. I really wonder if the referendum was really intended to stop guys like me from coming to hunt ,or if I am just the victim of unintended consequences.

I leave for Montana this afternoon,and I hope it's not my last trip for a while.



for the record, as a resident, ive got no problem with a nonresident land owner getting a guaranteed land owner tag to hunt their own property....it is after all your property....
