Seems I read comparing OHIO and INDIANA on Boone and Crockett total Entries last year at like 215 to 195. So not much difference.

Wouldn't they have to lower the prices to match other states then? Some states per deer is cheaper then ours I do believe. It would also be nearly impossible to match what another charges because every state's license covers something different... Indiana's bundle is $150 per season, or $295 for 1 buck and 2 does in any season. Additional does are $24. Kentucky's NR tag is $120 for 2 deer then $15 for 2 more. Ohio, you have to buy a "Hunting License" ($125) then the deer tags ($24 for buck/doe and then $15 for additional doe) Illinois, I can't hardly make any sense of their system, but it would be impossible to reciprocate, from what I can tell. Michigan, you have to buy a $110 "base license" and then deer licenses are $20. Indiana looks pretty pricey, to me, compared to our neighbors. It would also be an absolute cluster to figure out the "fair" way to reciprocate NR tag pricing.

Iowa is as follows:
If I were writing the rules, the $295 for non resident fees might stay the same but I would add an application fee and there would be a limited amount of tags available...

Id be all for every one.

Here is my little 2 cents worth. I was "resident " but living else for my military career from 2000-15. I started hunting in 2003 but didn't get to hunt at home until 2010. Through a friend I found a guy with a small farm outside Warsaw that would let me hunt and then got to hunt with a fraternity brother in Stueben County. He had access to several farms (they had a kind of local hunt club) that these local hunters would help out with chores and keeping the deer in check. In the last 2 years all of that is gone due to leasing to out of state hunters. On one hand I can't blame the landowners for taking the several thousand dollar payday .....on the other hand it really hurts me personally. I am from the city and have zero family with huntable land. The days of helping with fences or hay or feeding stock in order to hunt seem to be gone. Even if I could afford the cost of the lease I don't know if I would. For me (and I am not going after others choices) it takes something out of the hunt to pay for it. Hopefully at some point in the near future I will be able to buy a piece of property to hunt and have a camp on but I probably won't be able to afford IN. I really miss hunting at home during firearms season. Maybe I will be able to swing something in the future, but I am not holding my breath.

States wander why there are less hunters. I believe the high cost is a big issue. Spending hundreds of dollar on a few pounds of meat and with no guarantee. I think there are a lot of ex-hunters out there because of costs. Then add all the regulations. The states are regulating and price tagging the end of hunting for a lot of people. It will become a high priced right privilege group that hunts.

If from out of state you should be required to pay some kind of Habitate stamp and the money used for habitat improvements on private ground And I’ll step on some toes here but given by a ratings scale addressing what is lacking in your area Whether you slow hunting or not makes no difference the deer use it whether you allow hunting or not My neighbor got a Bulldozer he’s clearing his ridges and fence rows for Ground more suitable for Cows his sons already told me if he wants a deer he has to set on the propert lines I don’t allow hunting but he gets the Beni fits anyway
