My number one suggestion would be to make ensure non-resident hunters do not recieve more than 10 % of the allocations given per WMU per species hunted. This way we can minimize the effects of outfitters locking up land. In Montana its state law that non-residents are limited to 10 percent per species per zone, this was to protect resident hunter interest it's time we do the same.

For a link to some of the problems faced by resident Montana hunters here's a link, at least they recognize the problem.

In certain WMU such as 305 antlered mule deer resident hunters could gain as many as 25 more tags per year if non-residents were capped at 10 percent, obviously this is the most sensible approach to putting more resident hunters in the field.
