Residents hate it when nonres show up, hunt hard, know how to use electronic maps and find honey holes…sorry I’m not sorry!

I did get the back window of my jeep smashed in a few years ago hunting deer in Wyoming. Nothing stolen just vandalized. I was parked in a less obvious spot and was hunting a good buck along with some locals who probably knew about the deer too. Never killed the buck but also kept hunting there with duct tape on my window 😉

Ca Hunters get an undeserved bad rap. Most are conservatives stuck in Ca for Family or work- including myself.

What the guys in other states don't realize- its not the hunters from Ca...it's the politicians and the Universities pumping out these Climate Weinies and Socialist idiots.

Those universities are doing it in all states. Thats what we get when DEI takes over, Marxist Professors that have never worked a real job...or run a company are preaching Theory and not real world to our young adults. Check out the weirdos schools like UC Boulder is putting out- or the Ivy League schools- my Gawd its crazy- this is the main problem why our society has changed.

If you don't believe me, just watch some of the speeches from those University protests. Then check the piles of trash those hypocrites left behind in their wake. It's no wonder they whine about only being able to find a job at Starbucks with their Masters in Film degree. Grin

NIMBY syndrome is something anyone who travels beyond their state lines for recreation gets to experience at some point in time. When it comes to hunting I don't mind seeing out of state plates as long as everyone is being legal and respectful in what they are doing. One thing I wish is that Colorado would cater to residents a little more. New Mexico is far from perfect in their hunting structure (looking at you LO tags) but I like how some of their hunts and units are only available to residents. Wyoming's resident tag allocation ratios are worth of envy. Nothing is ever perfect though. Be nice no matter what license plate is on the truck parked next to yours.

I’m a NR in a lot of places but it does suck when you live local and a bunch of out town tags show up and swamp the spot. I’ve seen plenty of places where I’m a local that are totally trashed by just having too many people. No doubt everybody has equal access, but damn, a spot can only support so much pressure and when the potential pressure pool is expanded across the county, it seems hopeless.

Also, for sure on locals being the worst. I’ve seen notes, fake signs, boat ramps/trails blocked, etc. NR generally don’t feel like they own the area.

You know what’s funny, is I’ve got more hate from other nonresident hunters! Never had any resident hunters give me a bad time. Totally the opposite actually. The first time I ever hunted Wyoming we had a local pull up to us in Rawlins and ask if we were from out of state. We said yeah and he told us to follow him he was gonna show us where the grocery store was and the processor. He spent probably a half hour of his time showing us around.
We had a guy from Pennsylvania tell us “it’s you damn Californians who are ruining Colorado hunting, going around and buying up multi million dollar second homes.” We were definitely not buying any kind of second home there lol, I knew what he meant though.
This year in Wyoming we stayed at this awesome little place that had cabins and a little bar outside Saratoga for a night. Went in to have a couple beers in the bar and the couple local guys and owner asked where we were from, you never know how it’s gonna go when you tell people you’re from California, but they were super cool about it. Said every Californian they’d met had been good people. They said it was the Coloradans moving to Wyoming and ruining it lol. Maybe I’ve just been lucky but I haven’t had a bad experience yet.
