Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mocha" data-source="post: 53366" data-attributes="member: 1002">First I am not going to call you names or anything to put you down. I also will not take your word as the gospel. I grew up in ND. Spent the majority of my life in ND. So your story about one gas station guy holds very little water for a consensus of the whole. Every time I go to ND to enjoy the outdoors I personally spend at least $300-$500 per two days for one guy. Sure you will have some guys will bring all they can with them and thats there right to do so. But when I see motels full of non resident hunters/fishermen and morning cafes full of hunters/fishermen It would nice to know what the owner of those establishments think? If they think its so bad then why do the put on extra staff to handle the influx of non residents??? I have traveled all over ND for business and stayed in many many towns and every business owner I have talked with said its always a nice bump up in the check book when the non resident hunting and fishing guys coming to town.As for your second angry paragraph. I spend my money in my home town as much as possible. Yes  most of the stores now me, small town, but I don't get an ego boost and think that my money is more important than any other that comes in their cash register. Our area not only thrives but largely depends on tourism and believe me we have tons and tons of ND plates....probably the largest number of non residents that come to our town are from ND by quite a margin. We welcome anyone that wants to visit our town and we don't down grade them once they leave. Do we have an occasional non resident that becomes a PITA and breaks the law..... sure we do but you will find that every where. I am sorry you have only be able to hunt "a whopping 3 times"  but are you saying you have spent that much time dealing with non residents and that has kept you from hunting more?  So a few duck/goose hunters so far this year and maybe a grouse hunter or two have that much influence on weather you get to go hunting or not???I hope you can lower your blood pressure and enjoy the rest of your fall hunting season winter comes very fast!</blockquote>
