They already charge us up the a$$. The state is going to shoot themselves in the foot as less nonresidents will put in. This is a huge source of revenue for the state because every entrant has to buy a non-refundable hunting license. That is pure profit. IMO, it won't help your draw rate because if the state has the opportunity to sell a full 10% of the tags at $3200 a pop, you can bet that they'll make sure that the FULL 10% of the non-resident quota is filled.

GameHauler--we've been in MN for 3 years and every year we have at least one deer that's been hit by a car. It's sad. This year I think I'm going to take him. And Beau...wait till you see him in person. It's amazing.

My wife is an audiologist and she has told me that seeing an audiologist--and not a hearing aid dealer--is critical. The price of hearing aids varies considerably from clinic to clinic. She used to work at the Arizona State University Speech and Hearing Clinic. They are a teaching facility and they also fit hearing aids. You'll work with a student but you'll also always have a supervising audiologist who would oversee the entire process. Their prices are extremely reasonable and you wind up having an extremely thorough evaluation and fitting. If you have any questions, send me a pm.

I understand your frustration having been a resident my entire life until 2006. But now as a non-resident, for the last 3 years I have put in each year and am now down $453.75 as I am required to buy a license just to put in. I can't see the AZGFD taking away the premium sites and forfeiting non-resident guaranteed income of $151.25 per year, per person. I would not pay that fee to put in for a non-premium unit and I doubt that anyone else would either.

It didn't take them long to cash my non res. checks

That's right! They cashed my checks two weeks ago, so for the time being, I'm convinced that I'm going hunting in AZ.
