Just looked through the regs, units not requiring a resident locking tag are 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26.Lot of people hunt, camp, fish outside units that need a tag.
I'd argue the units you need a brown bear tag are the units you don't want to do anything in.
I did not realize a resident locking tag was not required for most of the state. I certainly will not be spending a few hundred on transportation to avoid spending $25 on a tag though.
