I hunt MO every year, either rifle or muzzleloader...because I have family there, and its a tradition. These changes make this, while impossible, much more unlikely. I have donated a few thousand in NR fees...and have harvested one deer. Period. I let does walk, even though I have bought the additional $25.00 fee every single year. I always looked at it as a "tip" to the state for letting me hunt.
With these changes, the state has gone from making $250 a year from me, plus whatever sales tax revenue I generate while I am there...to $0. I will be damned if I am going to pay that kind of money for a draw hunt...

What state do you live in? What is your non-resident fee and tag process if I decide I want to hunt your state? And I'll say it again, I wish the non-resident hunters I encounter on public ground shared the same respect for the land that I am sure you do.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I am in Oklahoma...a non resident deer tag is $280...period. As for the process...its much like MO, you buy it online, or at the counter. No lotteries, no points.
To quote the OK Wildlife Dept "For nonresidents who hunt deer during gun season. If hunting only deer, no annual or 5-day hunting license is required."
This price is roughly the same as MO, a little more. This, however, is from an agency who is funded solely by revenue generated from license sales. The OK Dept of Wildlife receives zero dollars from tax appropriations. None.

The draw is only for managed hunts, not other hunting. $225 nonresident. Reasonable. Last year I bought a $900 out of state bull elk tag.

Oh hell...I completely misunderstood, and I read the damned thing three times. I was under the impression that all rates were going up, and you had to draw for any antlered tag. My apologies. I will pay the $225+$25 gladly..
I have always enjoyed my hunting in Missouri, even though they havent been incredibly fruitful. The area of St. Clair Co I hunt in doesnt seem to have an overabundance of deer...but I still love it. I may switch gears and try a Spring Turkey hunt next year, never done that there.

Did the state offer a reason for making the point restrictions not the same in all counties?

Deer are somewhere all the time

When you have your head inserted solidly in your posterior,
there is no need to try to give reason for anything you do

You have a real hard on for the MDC. Most people think they do a fine job,
