The outfitters supply meals an accommodations, and hunt expenses, so I am not believing that the average non resident hunter is spending an additional $6000 to $9000 while he is in Alberta for a week. If his hunt is based out of a town or city, he may spend some move in bars or buying souvenirs, but $6000 to $9000 is quite a stretch. If a non resident hunter is in a wilderness camp, he has nowhere to spend his money while he is in camp.

Yes he does provide more to the economy. Your right. But to take a single mule deer he doesn't.
