I'm sorry guys but to suggest the net result of the outfitting industry to the economy = zero is laughable at best. This is 100% about the money and I am totally fine with that, as I am with benefiting off our other industries.
Nope, I'm not an outfitter. Just a happy resident with more tags every year than I know what to do with. Happy to share that for the sake of jobs. Regulations? Certainly they are needed. And we're probably out of balance somewhere. But to suggest a resident drawn tag will bring in the same economic stimulus as an American wearing new Wrangler jeans who cant hardly ride the horse he's on through the Willmore is a hefty stretch.
I get it. We're mad and want the same opportunity afforded to our wealthy global friends. But we can't stretch the facts to fit that agenda. It's a totally valid concern that you want the same opportunity. But for eco-tourism dollars, it makes sense to allocate some of that for our benefit. Balance Balance Balance.
