Do you hunt or plan on hunting out of state?

[Schoolhousegrizz]

On my other thread, "why the non-resident hate, let's fix it." Many hunters want to decrease non-resident hunting even more than it is. My argument was to increase it everywhere and give everyone more opportunity instead of just hoarding your own state licenses. However, someone brought up a good point. Maybe lots of other people don't even care to hunt out a state which I personally don't get, maybe they don't have the money which is understandable. But I want to do a poll to see how many of us either hunt out of state or plan on hunting out a state.

I would if I lived in the lower 48 and was able to drive to neighboring states. Definitely a little jealous of you guys.

Yep. Every year
And I’ll abide by that state’s rules and costs

This, end of thread.

instead of just hoarding your own state licenses.

Is it hoarding if a person wants to hunt an animal in their own state compared to someone who wants to double, triple, quadruple dip by snagging hunts where they don't live? The latter person fits that mold to a T.

Out of state, how about out of country

Grizz, it doesn't matter how many threads you start there's always going to be strong disagreement between Res and NR. You're not going to fix it or pull em all together to think like you want them to.

Yes. As a NM resident and how the state does its draw, if I want to go [every year] it's necessary to hunt out of state.

 

[Jethro]

14 of the last 15 years hunted out of state. Will again this year.

This poll done on Rokslide will not mimic results if you were to poll the general hunting public.

You can always draw something in NM

 

[Olympics777]

I’ll bet that the rokslide community skews heavily towards wanting to hunt out of state, but that doesn’t speak for all hunters.

I know it seems slanted in favor of residents if you’re coming from an eastern state with virtually unlimited whitetail opportunities but residents of many western states don’t get to hunt every year. When residents are waiting several years to hunt in their own state, of course they’re not going to want to wait longer to let you hunt.

That is sad… I’m sure it’s the same in AZ for elk at least

You are right. But I am honestly curious to see how many hunters want to hunt out of state. It just doesn't add up that some if not most of these hunters want to shut down the NR's. I'm hoping it can make some people think twice.

Well so far overwhelmingly everybody wants to hunt out of state so why the hell are we bitching and moaning to limit non-residents even more?

 

[Shō[t]gun]

Come on man, there’s already a perfectly good shitshow on the other nearly identical thread you started.

 

[jimh406]

What your poll doesn’t capture is some of us have enough opportunity in our own states. Sure, we could get more, but I think that depends on how much we want to hunt.

Also, most people don’t make the most of their own state. Sure, they may not have Elk or Mule Deer, but most do have plenty of other species to hunt.

The grass is always greener …

I hunt out of state every year. Lately it's been MO (every year almost, own land there), WI (about every other year, own land there too and have lots of access to private), MT (occasionally) and soon to be CO. Nice thing about MO and WI is it is relatively cheap compared to Western states.

And to think you have it better than Utah.


I have points out of state but the only reason is because I have family in different states and I want to hunt with them. If it weren’t for that and I could get a tag every year in my home unit, I would be content.
