Message: <blockquote data-quote="snow" data-source="post: 288842" data-attributes="member: 1056">So western states are giving you folks the stink eye eh?,kinda like we from Mn  and sconny land when we hunt the dakota's,but western states see big $$ signs from folks invading they're presious land and willing to step up to these crazy increases,past few years more resident hunters in minn and further east are hunting local game farms as the weekend warriors only get out couple times a year so why pay $125 to hunt pheasants in south dakota for a 10 day license for example when a well managed game farm charges $15/bird,no travel cost or lodging,I suspect we'll see more high fence big game hunts coming in states in the not so distant future,sad our sport has come to this.Or like alaska,when I moved back to the lower 48 non rez big game hunters were required to secure a licensed guide or called a "master guide" not sure if that still holds? problem was big money oil honcho's were trophy hunting out of they're private helicopters,that ended the recklessness pronto and provided the guides/state big time revenue,had a job working at a small airfield (merriel airfield) in downtown anchorage when I first moved to alaska,folks from around the world came in droves to trophy hunt,talked to some foreign hunters shooting the "grand slam" one day waiting for an air lift,at the time (late 80's) it was a $50k bill today over $100k so as long as folks with deep pockets pay the piper states keep jacking up the fee's,as stated blue collar hunters will be kicked to the curb down the road.</blockquote>
