497.1?AZTECH::BILLINGSLEAAlert to distortion!Wed Oct 04 1989 15:121
    What about licenses?
497.2lotterySALEM::MACGREGORI'm the NRA/GONH/NAHCWed Oct 04 1989 16:035
    In the western states one has to apply ahead of ime where a state
    like Maine or N.H. you just go and get an out of state license from
    an authorized dealer. I would think alot would depend on the lottery
    alot of the western states have.

497.3Equal HuntingPH4VAX::DISTRICTDistrictWed Oct 04 1989 22:0711
     In this type of situation. I would  mainly be concerned with one
    thing. Equal hunting grounds. Lets say you have a place in Maine
    that is great for bear and deer, and you trade for a place in Co.
    that is supposed to be great for elk. Then the day you arrive you
    find that you are hunting on a biological desert. I would not be
    pleased.  Who knows it may be the reverse.
    
       Something to Think About,

497.4You just have to trust CHRLIE::HUSTONThu Oct 05 1989 10:1226
    
    I also read about this awhile ago. AS for licenses you always pay for 
    your own license.  The person who is the "host" acts kind of like a
    guide for the visitor. The roles reverse when you trade locations.
    
    For example if I went to Colorado (ignoring licensing pblms) I pay to
    get there, I pay for licenses, I pay for butchering, shipping etc. You
    act as my "guide" for the week, you don't exclusively guide it is more
    along the lines of you taking a friend hunting who has never been in 
    the area.
    
    The next year (or whenever) you come to me in NH, you pay license,
    travel etc.  I "guide" you.  There is no guarentee of game or even
    seeing any game.
    
    To do this you obviously must trust the person you are trading with.
    You must talk to them enough to believe that you are not going to a 
    "biological desert".  If you do, then there is nothing you can do
    except get mad.
    
    You don't need to trade hunting trips.  I believe the article I read
    had the author "hosting" a fishing trip, he got a quail hunt on a 
    farm somewhere in the south.  He did mention, if done right, it is
    a great way to make friends all over the country.

    re 497.4
    I gree with your response to this and as I stated there would be
    issues to work out such as:
    
    o Recent year stat's on the game harvested in certain counties of
      a given state.
    
    o The Individuals invited pays their own freight, the Host guides
      or possibly gives room and board if this is available if not,
      the host can give information pertaining to where we could get
      this need.
    
    o It's also understood that some states go with lottery systems
      and that these lotteries occur sometimwe in the Feb - March 
      timeframe. Those who want to swap off will have to communicate
      this to each other and possibly coordinate this.
    
    o As for ending up in a dersert, well I have heard that some outfitters
      you hire this can very well occur. One of my reasons for thinking
      about this is maybe by dealing this way we can confine and elimate
      this concern.
    
    
497.6COMET::ALBERTUSevery kind of refuge has its priceThu Oct 05 1989 11:3111
>    In the western states one has to apply ahead of ime ...

	Colorado does have several drawings (cow elk, muzzle loaders,
	etc.) but you can also just walk up and purchase most
	licenses (unlimited elk, deer, etc.) over the counter.

	Yep, a week's worth of quail hunting back in ol' Louisiana
	would do the trick 'bout now.  Too bad I gotta spend my time 
	in the Rockys killing elk next week.  Bummer.  ;-)

    I feel bad for you, but someone has to do it :-)
    
    Want to trade a week of slaying rampant Elk for a week of sleeping
    in the white mtns, we never see deer, but we catch up on the sleep :-)
    
    Good luck

497.9BOOTES::KEYESThu Oct 05 1989 13:5223
    Good Idea Brett! I'll Start!
    
    Will trade for next year 1 week of whitetail hunting in a top zone
    in the state of Maine that is well known for producing 200lb+ buck,
    has a high harvest year after year, has good Black bear and Partrige
    hunting also!.
    
    What's included - Room, Board, and hunting with people that know
                      the area.
    
                      You pay all expences on behalf of yourself and
                      anyone else that would be agreed upon.
    
    What I would like is a good location for Mule Deer and Antelope
    and who would accompany me would be agreed upon also.
    
    We would pay all of our own expences.
    
    Who's Interested!!!!????
