Indiana non-resident survey - another state considering NR restrictions

[Prospector]

Ark is correct. No representation= easy target. Yall know how I feel and next to Fla I hunt in one of the "victimized" states🙄. "We" our own worst enemy. Squeaky wheels get the grease , yada, yada.... don't cry when the only place you can hunt is your home state and you have to draw for even that opportunity....

Residents that didn't start the war, are now getting mad they are restricted when they want to travel to other states

Thus, in return they are barking in their own state to put restrictions on NR that want to come to their homes

It's starting to get comical really, how some who championed the restrictions the earliest, are now not liking being restricted themselves.

This is a spiral that won't stop until we're all miserable and limited to just our home states wondering "what happened"

Influencers started this crap with their huge followings of followers, but the reg ole boys are who barked at their legislators wanting to retaliate against the" influenced" crowds, but then in the long run are then being re-retaliated against (if that's a word)

It sounded like a great idea to the early season southerners, right up until states like MO, TN, etc are doing it back in return

The crowds absolutely suck/sucked, but I'm not so sure this is better.

Non residents have no representation in state government. Therefore they are easy targets. And restrictions against non residents are supported by residents because it doesn't affect the majority of residents to limit them. Even if it has no biological significance in wild turkey production.

Sounds almost like a representative democracy.

Right, more hunting pressure and more early season harvest couldn't possibly impact reproduction.

It's human nature to want something that's limited or in low supply. You see it every Christmas etc. same thing with these limited entry/draw/quotas..... now more people applying than were buying otc licenses before the quotas.

No data to back that up. We are still trying it a a decade + later.
