I appreciate all that you said NJ and agree. If hunters could stick together instead of always bickering between ourselves, we'd be a powerful force to reckon with, that's for sure.
As you said, we're all only a resident of one state and NR in the other 49. Hunting anywhere as a NR is truly a costly endeavor these days and the bottom line is to do it, you can't just be scraping by financially. For certain hunts in certain states, I'm sure people will sacrifice to make it happen if they truly desire it. However, I doubt it will ever be like it was in the "old days" when it didn't take much financial commitment to hunt out-of-state.
The other thing to remember, as NJ touched on, is that once the price to play hits the extreme for the NR hunters and their numbers tail off, it doesn't take long before the states start looking at the residents to make up the difference.
