Hunt map
Hunt map
So far I have been lucky enough to hunt 21 States and 8 Provinces.
This map has different colored pins, one color is up-coming hunts, another for hunts where I did not connect, another for hunts where I connected but less than a P&Y qualifier and finally one color for a P&Y animal. Helps with the memories as I age:)

Ike...If you want a Tule, you gotta hunt CA. ;)
Here is my hunting license from CA 1963 55 years ago the cost was good and it came with 2 deer tags
TX, CO, WY, NE, AK, LA, MS, MO, NM, AZ

MI, CO, WY,IL,OH,CA,SD, hopefully I can add IA to the list this year.
I realize that Cory; I'm still surprised.
My point is, if you take Tule out of the equation, the number of non residents would go down substantially IMO.
In my mind-all of them. In reality-SC
Planning to bowhunt Tule in CA in '18 if the ranch gets their normal elk allocations. Will be my first foray into the Golden State to hunt...and if a successful hunt, likely my last, although a backpack Blacktail bowhunt into the "Alps" always sounded interesting.
Mn. Wisc. Mich. N.D. Col. Mont. Neb. Tx. Ak. Ont. Quebec.
Over 50 years here in Va. Haven't gotten tired of it yet.........One
IL WI MI CO WY TN FL Ontario 5 times
"My point is, if you take Tule out of the equation, the number of non residents would go down substantially IMO."
We'd still get quite a few coming for their Blacktail also...
