Message: <blockquote data-quote="SDMF" data-source="post: 301393" data-attributes="member: 412">I used to buy a MN hunting and MN fishing license annually.  I haven't purchased either for 5-6yrs.  Part of that is having a camper on a permanent spot on Devils Lake, part of that is ruffed grouse numbers have been poor where I normally hunt them, Part of that is the ungodly number of deer ticks there seems to be, part of that is my dog got old and has now been put down.  We'll see, maybe by next fall doggie 3 will be "Ruffed Grouse Ready".I don't really fish out of state anymore but I do still hunt out of ND pretty much annually.  The difference is, I follow the rules, AND I don't encroach upon someone else's hunt.  With the exception of tire/boot tracks, for the most part you'd never know I was there.Let's say there's some CRP, 1-quarter or ~160AC, surrounded by crops or harvested ground.  If someone else is already hunting that parcel, I leave and go hunt somewhere else.  I'm not hopping in to hunt it with them.  I'm not waiting on the road for flushed birds or runners to come by, I leave.  I don't care if there's 1 person hunting it or 20.I have had people from WI as evidenced via license plate sit on the road and "post" for me.  I've had people from WI jump into a quarter a few hundred yards ahead of me if they've seen runners that I've worked into a pinch point.Fishing is just as bad for folks following a person if they see you caught fish today, they'll try to find you tomorrow.  Not to mention that even WI cops that fish in ND poach extra fish.  That should've been big news but ND G&F didn't get a warrant to search the cabin and the judge thew out the case:<a href="https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/3297064-wardens-land-another-fish-bust-devils-lake-anglers-found-100-walleyes" target="_blank">https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/3297064-wardens-land-another-fish-bust-devils-lake-anglers-found-100-walleyes</a>These guys: Michael Wirkus, Racine Wis.; Donald Klatkiewicz, Mukwonago, Wis.; Daniel Klatkiewicz, Hales Corners, Wis.; Robert Richer Jr., Hales Corners, Wis.; and Allen Lafave, Racine, Wis.A picture of their faces should hang at every boat ramp, cleaning station, bar, restaurant, and bait shop around Devils Lake, and anywhere within say 20Mi of fishable water anywhere in ND.  One of them is some sort of LEO in WI, that summbitch shoulda been fired.'Sconi's have EARNED every ounce of disdain I have for them.- - - Updated - - -Like a lot of wildlife, habitat is #1, I don't disagree.  I realize that far to the right of the decimal things start to be a rounding error, but, the number of eggs laid/fertilized is a LONG way to the left of the decimal.Billions more eggs laid certainly isn't going to equal fewer fish in the system...........</blockquote>
