Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire No Hunting Again

Yep.. I think he should come here and share his views.

I've been on both sides of the fence.
lived on a cattle ranch for quite a while & hunting season was a big fat pain in the ass.
I was always running trespassers off, picking up garbage etc...
By the same token I've humbly knocked on doors pleading for hunting permission and when you're sporting California plates that don't come easy.

I have damn good hunting here, but am always trying to scratch that itch.
Even if I lived in Montana or Wyoming, I'd be applying in other states as well.
Everyone is a non resident if they hunt enough.



Hunting in other states is a privellege.
I'll continue to pay the goin rate till I can't go no more.
Ain't no sniveling here.

Just got in from sledding grain to his majesty's flock of birds.

Maybe if we're lucky he'll let us shoot one this Fall....grin

I can't wait to get after 'em again.

Man, did I see some critters this week up north..

You out for work or on a tour with the fam?


Funny story about Wolf Creek.
Couple years ago there was a teacher from Cali who had visited Wolf Creek and really liked it.
She signs up for a teaching job in Wolf Point, gets off the airplane and says this isn't Wolf Creek!

No chit lady, you're only off by 400 or 500 miles....

I have so much [bleep] money I can hunt anywhere.

Not to hijack the thread. I was just curious how Northeastern Wyoming is looking for deer and antelope numbers? Any die off?
We hunted near Gillete last year and did ok on antelope but mulie bucks were a little scarce.

PM drhjh. he has the info

ooops..

Some of the boys in the local watering hole at Wuff Creek would sure enjoy our out-of-stater's ideas on hunting entitlement..

Was up that way working on a client's ranch. You know who..

Heck, let the states charge whatever they want for tags, and the feds start charging a $100 a day use fee on Federal ground for all, resident or not. Works for me Russ

One of the reasons some states get more money than the federal government collects from the residents of the state involves the percentage of land in the state owned by the federal government. That is land the state cannot tax, open up for private business or colelct property taxes on.




In all, the federal government owns about a third of the total land mass in the US. And that is heavily skewed in the Western States.

That reaffirms my belief about Texas.

This thread does the same about Texans.

Great image, very telling.

Then again not all public land is accessible. Much of it is landlocked by private.

The public land hunting in FL really sucks. A lease in AL runs $1500.00 or better and you have to buy a license on top of that.

You mean the tax payers might get a return on investment that would benefit all citizens?

We were thinking about going on a group hunt to Oregon last year.......then we saw the nonresident fees and said, "Yeah, no."

Not complaining, as that's life. We'll save our pennies and go next year.

Brian.

Oregon is one of 7 states I'll be in for this year.
I suspect I'll be doing a southern Oregon Blacktail hunt with my bow this year.

Best thing about the Point is not many people like it....(grin)
