Are you ready for a Great Year?
2005 is looking to be an awesome year for a lot ofyou...the reason? Due to your lawsuit
you no longer have to face the discrimination of being a nonresident hunter in some States.
First, the good news! Arizona nonresident quotas have been abolished. Arizona is now
attempting to make changes to discourage nonresidents from applying, such as discontinuing their
internet applications, raising tag fees, requiring full tag fees sent when applying and/or requiring
you to purchase the nonresident license to apply. Any of these things will surely reduce the
number of nonresidents applying, but should not affect your portfolios as usa fronts your tag
fees and does the applications for you. A few of you who have not bought bonus points in the
past may of course be forced to do so. However, you should buy bonus points now that you are
on equal footing with the residents for drawing a tag. In fact, this is an opportunity to increase
your applications to all four species in Arizona. This way you get four bonus points for the price
of one.
Nevada nonresident quotas are also gone. They are also
looking for changes to discourage nonresidents from applying
and we will follow their development. Any attempt to reinstitute
quotas will be met with further litigation.
As a side note, Montana and the other Ninth circuit states have not made changes to stop
the discrimination of nonresidents and are opening themselves up to litigation as well as large
damage claims. The longer they wait, the costlier the claims will be. If any of you want to be a
litigant on these claims, please advise us and we will put you in contact with our legal team.
Weare still waiting on the Tenth Circuit Court in Denver to rule on our case (Shutz vs
Wyoming) presented to the court last March. This is a similar type case that was won in the Ninth
Circuit (Montoya v Manning) and has laid the groundwork to stop nonresident discrimination.
Now the bad news! Even though the courts have rightfully ruled to stop the discrimination
against nonresidents, the Game and Fish Departments are trying to go around the courts and
attempt to pass legislation in the U. S. Congress to exempt wildlife issues from the commerce
clause. This would mean that states could exclude you from hunting and fishing in any State
completely. It shows how misguided and determined these Game and Fish Agencies are at
discriminating against you. We will still need your help in fighting this through your donations
and contacting your congressman. Enclosed are excerpts from an article published in "The
Conservation Force January Bulletin" written by John Jackson.
To fight this legislation and continue with the efforts in your behalf, we are asking for a
donation to the Nonresident Legal Fund of$100 from each of our applicants. As you have seen,
no one but YOU, usa, Conservation Force, Dallas Safari Club, and African Safari Club have had
the guts to try and stop the discrimination against you, the nonresident hunter. No other licensing
service, hunting consultants, or outfitters have stood up to be financially counted in this effort.
In the past you have seen what a small amount of donation from each of you has produced.. ...
RESULTS LET'S NOT STOP NOW!
ForUnitedStatesOutfittersandProfessionalLicensingService,2004was a banneryear.
Along with your winning of the Arizona Lawsuit, we had good moisture and a cool fall, all the
ingredients for many trophies being harvested by our clients. We had 400+ point elk and 200+
point whitetail harvested along with hundreds of other trophies including sheep, moose, antelope,
bears, oryx, mountain goats, and mule deer. No other outfitter can produce the quality for the
price that usa provides. We are very proud of this, but we are appreciative of you, our clients,
because of your trust in USO.
For 2005, changes will abound. Arizona and Nevada are dealing with having to treat resident
and nonresidents alike, more litigation may be needed if discrimination is reinstated.
New Mexico changes include moving up their main deadline to April 9th, looking at
starting a bonus point system, point restriction in some areas, allowing guides for Oryx hunts
and allowing crossbows for mobility impaired archers. New Mexico deadline for Oryx is Feb.
5th,for those of you that missed out last year need to get Oryx added to your portfolio. Any of
you wanting private land elk hunts with guaranteed tags for 2005 should contact our office for
availability.
Kansas, once again, has boundary changes for both draw tags and landowner tags. Those
of you wanting Kansas landowner tags need to call to get a tag held for you in 2005. Weare
booking these hunts this year rather than just a waiting list as the demand greatly exceeds the
amount of tags we receive.
Other states are increasing some of their license, tag and application fees. Several states
have yet to formalize these changes, so we will keep you informed through our "SCREAMERS"
on changes that affect your current applications and opportunities for new applications.
Price changes are in the works for our hunts also, but only for the Licensing Hunts for this
year. Mainly because of the cost of fuel, we have increased the cost of these hunts from $200 to
$300. usa is still fronting your tag fees for Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, and Kansas.
As in the past, we will continue to provide only guided hunts in these States, also included in
the guided hunts are the Wyoming elk hunts. If your financial status has changed where you
cannot afford to go guided, we need to remove or place your portfolio on hold. In States such as
Montana, Idaho, Alaska, Oregon, Washington and California, we apply for unguided hunts for
sheep, moose, and goats.
Please look at your portfolios now, as we are contracted to apply these applications for you
each year and our first deadlines are Utah and Wyoming which is the end of January. If you
believe you cannot hunt this year, for any reason, let us know before we start'applying. We can
apply for "bonus only" or "hold" in order to fit your need otherwise we will apply to draw. It is
foolish to apply and draw a special and valuable tag you cannot use simply because you forgot to
notify us of your needs. To add insult to injury, you are still responsible to pay for the tag and
it will be wasted as no one else can use this tag. So, review your portfolio and mail or fax your
invoice back to us. If you have any questions or changes, notify us so we can do
the best job for you.
Because of the legal changes that are coming about, you are in front of
the line for many ofthese quality tags in the coming years. Thanks again for
allowing usa to handle your applications. As always, your support, trust, and
your business are greatly appreciated.
