I have always agreed with a state by state reciprocity as Jesse mentioned above, but I believe that should be a minimum of what is done. In reality, I would love to see a lottery system much like western states have. As well as a drastic increase in a buck tag. For elk in Arizona, a resident tag is $79, the NR tag is $680.. This is AFTER you purchase a NR hunting license ($179) each year and $5 to put your name in the lottery for that hunt. The average number of years to draw the unit we did is 7 years. That's $1,288 in licenses and fees before the $689 for a tag.. For a NR the cost is close to $2k to hunt for just 2 weeks. Rifle / Muzzleloader and late archery are completely separate hunts and lottery. Some units take 15-25 years to draw and there is no shortage of people plunking down that yearly fee to apply. whitetail, mulie, couse, sheep, bear, and even javalena are the same way. A NR Tag costs 8x what a resident does. The old adage of people won't pay it and making it a rich man's sport doesn't apply because the cost is the same each year $179 NR license. The difference is you don't get to hunt Arizona every year, so by the time an individual does the total cost is around 2k.
BTW. The JW on that petiton is not me.
