This is a pure hypothetical fun “king for a day” thread, not to be super serious. Just exploring how we wish the rules were different in certain places.
Sunday hunting laws is the obvious one, which is complete BS.
I’d love to see the first week or at least few days of western seasons be “stock, bike, and ATV free” Give the guy with a rifle and a backpack a fair chance first.
This one will never happen, and will probably get some people ready to get the pitchforks, but I’d love to limit nonresident license fees to 10x that off the resident cost. Not disagreeing residents should have a huge advantage over nonresident with both draw odds and cost, but there comes a time where things are just downright nuts when one person pays $20 for a tag and another pays ~$1000 just because they live across an imaginary line.
Similarly I’d like to see non residents get at least 10% of the tags given out by each state. Again I know this will legally will never happen, but this is pure fantasy thread and I like hunting and exploring different states, so I’d love to see at least some minimal guaranteed opportunity for non residents in each state. Still would give residents a huge advantage, but it would ensure others aren’t completely locked out. Again, flame suit on.
Legalize corner hopping. Duh.
Give tax incentives to landowners for public hunting and fishing access. This happens in certain states I believe but I wish it was more common place.
What else would you add to the list if you were king for a day?
