So does this guy have tags for himself, the wife, a couple of kids, his brother, and his uncle? I would hope the DNR would check to make sure all the licenses are legit and that no one else is carrying these tags.
Like some others have said, I'd like to see the outfitters licensed and bonded and subject to unannounced inspections by CO's. I think the state is missing out on a great revenue stream and it could actually help slow down the leasing of land ... give outfitters enough hoops to jump through and some currently in operation might say the hell with it.
Extra $$ could fund officers to oversee the outfitters as well as fund land purchases. I guess I have a hard time finding a down side to it, especially when the courts have ruled that state's have the right to manage their own wildlife.
There will always be unethical hunters out there, whether they're residents, non-residents, or outfitters. We just shouldn't make it so easy for them to operate!
