I get a chuckle out of posts like this. I am a resident hunter. My effort and funds go on year round, the little gas station/grocery/hardware store that NRs stop at once or twice a year gets my business year round otherwise they would be closed when NRs showed up. I know local land owners, BLM, Forrest Service and Fish and Game by their first names and don't hesitate to call them when some bubba, local or not, is causing havoc. I volunteer, pull fence, attend meetings, make comments and kill predators year round. This legislative session I spoke out and wrote legislators in support of raising resident hunting fees. I have met and hunted with many NRs some were very dedicated and enjoyed the chance to hunt here. Others did nothing but complain about how high the fees were, how many wolves there were (even if they had never seen one) and how they used to fill their tags from the road every year. The bottom line is if it wern't for resident hunters and sportsmen there wouldn't be enough good hunting to bring in any NRs and without NR funding residents wouldn't have the opportunities for cheap tags. Its a pretty good balance right now but it could change fairly easily.
