That's a valid point. Ask many of Iowa and Illinois' residents that USED to be able to afford to deer hunt in their home states how much "better" they feel deer hunting is now? [/b]
Probably a valid point in Illinois as that state manages for quality AND offers basically unlimited non-resident buck tags. Both outfitting and non-resident leasing is big business in Illinois.

You won't find that nearly as prevalent in Iowa. The fact NR tags are extremely limited keeps the number of outfitters in check. The fact NR's can only draw a tag every 3-4 years in most zones keeps non-resident leasing in check. Even public land deer hunting in Iowa is pretty darned good!

There are none so blind as those who will not see.
