N.H. did this sort of strategy many years ago. As a result my
non-resident family members found it hard to pay the fees required.
They're paying close to $200. for bow,muzzle-loader,gun to hunt deer.
But, the bow-season is 90 days and black-powder and rifle combined
is somewhere in the 40+ day mark. The available land you can hunt is
pretty much wide-open and depending on which part of the state you go
you could hunt for two weeks without seeing anyone else also, Sunday
hunting is permitted.
New Hampshire non-res hunters dropped to the point where the lost
funds impacted the Game-dept. But as a Resident I still pay close
to $60-$65 for all my tags and stamps to hunt. I'm not complaining!
New York has lots of posted land in the south many many hunters and
many many deer but, the deer are small, the requlations are a lawyers
nightmare. I was considering N.Y. but for $225. I'll go to Vermont.

| If you are a New York resident who is concidering a move out of state,
you may want to think about a lifetime licence. You get a permenant
backtag, new carcas tags and permit stubs each year, and you maintain
your resident status for life.

| I called the Fish and game department. Here's the breakdown. $100.00
Gun, $100.00 Bow, $75.00 Muzzle Loader. You can buy any license you
want. Or go for the $225.00 which includes all your big game tags,
small game, and fishing. Also, ther're having meetings about moving the
muzzle loader season ahead of the gun season. I like that idea. Plus
the 3 deer tags.
I'm going back, there's lots of deer and turkeys. Plus I have
permission to hunt on a good farm.
