aholemagnetI’d say 300 but then some a-hole would PM me saying there is no way it’s more than 280.

I live and grew up in Alabama. There is almost no huntable private land near me and what is there is so over hunted it’s thought of as not worth your time unless you have nowhere else to go. I have leased land my entire adult life. Here you either pay through the nose to hunt or have family or friends that own land. Before I started hunting out West, I thought Utah had a legitimate gripe about all of the Federally owned land in the state. I supported public land transfer because I was ignorant. The only thing that changed my mind was hunting as a non-resident. Since then, I have called and written my Senators and Representatives many times over public land issues. If you think it’s right to dump all over nonresidents, don’t ask for help the next time Mike Lee or whoever comes for the BLM land near you. I can always go back to my leases and go with an outfitter every couple of years instead of public land every year. It’s a short step from no draw units to no general units as well in my mind. The selfishness of this original statement is astounding and shortsighted in the extreme to me.
I never mentioned anything about a 100% resident draw..If I can't hunt there, as far as I'm concerned they can transfer every acre of public land to the highest bidder. Good luck with your 100% resident draw.
As a resident and taxpayer here in Montana, I have wondered why non residents are given permits ahead of any resident in limited quota areas? I know the FWP sets a side up to 10%, but why should ANY NR get a tag over a resident? I understand a NR hunting in general areas, and the fact that Montana has substantial federal land holdings has led to this 10% NR allotment. But in my opinion, a resident should have first chance at ALL tags that are on a quota system, then, if any remain, NR can apply. There would still be many opportunities left in general areas, but as a resident, we should have propriety over
