DPhillips,
Interesting point..

az,NM and nev, are all MOSTLY public lands that are hunted. My taxes, and I am a texas resident, pay for those lands as well (in comparision, there's no us government public lands of appricable % in texas), I should get a discount to hunt there?

Just kidding on that part...

I used toi hunt, every year, in lousianna, as the licencing fee was a MERE 9 times what my texas hunting license was (20 bucks in texas and 184 in LA for basic hunting, fishing.. and in LA, "big game".... (that's deer and turkey)

I QUIT hunting there, even though it's the most reasonable place for me to, as the fees TREBLLED in one year (550)... with no "short term" non-resident hunting license available

the reciprecation of texas, btw, is a 25 or 25 dollar 5 days license,, or about 150 for the year...

Here's my beef..
it should not cost a nonresident 10 times or more what it costs a resident to hunt in a state.. period... if it's a fair price for a resident to bag animals for a $100, what should the price be if there are NO nonresidents shooting?

I am a little bitchy on this subject, as I SHOULD be recognized as a native american, and not required to have the stupid thing anyway... but that's another story
