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.

No my money does not all get spent here in Alberta. If I don't get drawn for a tag, the odds are that I will take a vacation outside of Alberta, and likely outside of Canada, so that money will end up contributing to an economy outside Alberta. And if I do as you and some other people have suggested, and book a hunt outside of Alberta, a very large portion of my hunting budget will be spent outside of Alberta. So when you consider my money is being removed from the Alberta economy, as a result of some non resident's money being spent in Alberta, the Alberta economy really doesn't gain anything.
