Nine recommendations issued on nonresident hunting fees
The Wildlife Management Institute released nine recommendations to the Western Association of State Game and Fish Commissioners at Snowmass Aspen. Key points urge limiting nonresident license fee differentials and establishing nonresident quotas only with resident parity, citing safety and open space as factors. The report warns that higher fees could prompt Congress to create a federal unified license for lands and warns of potential funding erosion for state wildlife programs if federal lands absorb management.
