This is exactly why I'm finding myself use and contribute to HT less and less. People only hear what they want to hear because I never stated that a NR pays more taxes than a R and I never stated that by paying taxes you are entitled to cheap NR tags. Somehow my words pointing out that a NR does indeed pay state taxes and the Google AI statement is false got me there.

It's really hard for a lot of us to assume you don't have any agenda behind those kind of comments.

If you truly don't, you might clarify that bit more in those kind of comments to clear up any confusion.

If you said, that's not technically true in my case (which I agreed with), but it doesn't mean I'm entitled to any more than the status quo, I doubt anyone would have cared.

But, the way I see it, you've kindve put yourself in a camp, one that thinks non residents pay too much based on federal taxes, or pittman robertson, or whatever. So whenever someone I perceive as being in that camp makes a comment like that myself, and clearly many other people are going to assume that's what your advocating for.

But I'm not trying to attack you. You and I, and I'm pretty sure several others agree on the other big part of this equation, which is that residents don't pay nearly enough, and that they are often a whiny, entitled bunch when it comes to funding for wildlife conservation.

If I was king I would jack up tag costs across the board for big game until I stopped selling out tags and put all that money towards acquiring and managing winter range and other critical habitats.
