I can't agree more, being a resident of Colorado. The out-of-state influx has ruined hunting as we have known it in many units. Can't count the number of times I've been approached by an out of state Hunter, comes wandering through asking for directions. I'm sure nobody here from out of state would do that. However those are the folks to thank for the increasing fees and changing regulations. Out of state folks are going to to pay to play and bitching about it is rather ironic.
I lived in North Carolina for a year, and out of state tag was for six deer and two turkeys as I hadn't established residency by the time hunting season came around. $200. If six deer and two turkeys for 200 bucks isn't a deal, I don't know what is. In the grand scheme folks don't realize the issues they are causing for themselves down the line by jumping on the bandwagon and coming out west. Stay at home and get good at hunting the game in your state, just like I've gotten good at the game I'm hunting in my state. Or just don't complain.
