So no, not every dollar that a non resident spends to hunt here, is an extra dollar going into our economy.
Actually it is. Your money is made in this province, it came from here and it gets spent here.

Nobody is saying resident hunters don't spend money on hunting, but you guys are questioning how much of the money spent by a non resident hunter goes into our economy. To which I replied all of it, which it is.
