True reciprocal regulations with our game and fish enforcement and any other state will never happen. We tried it with trapping regulations when muskrats were worth good money a while back and we were flooded with out of state spring muskrat trappers. For example, say Wisconsin's muskrat season closes February 15 and ND's closes May 10th. We can't trap there after Feb 15, so they shouldn't be able to trap here right? We were shot down in flames with excuses about not enough wardens, how do you keep track of 49 other state regs etc. Even something simple like a ND resident is not allowed to trap beaver, mink and muskrat in Montana at all, ever, but they can trap all three here all damn season. It makes zero sense. Guessing resident fisherman would get the same treatment trappers did.
