Personally, I'd be happy if people came to my state and add as much money to our economy as we do for Mississippi.
As far as duck hunting in AR goes. Yes, people (residents and non-residents) raised a fuss when the guides went into the WMAs and set up permanent locations. This prevented anyone else, resident AND non-resident, hunters from hunting those public areas. After three years of complaining and study, AGFC made necessary changes. BTW, the locals (non-guides) aren't allowed to set up permanent spots either. So you see, your analogy just doesn't wash. If pressure needs to be reduced why haven't the MDWFP presented any supporting data. Simple.

everybody lets just go feeshing and not worry about poles and his or her lakes or who is purtier than me we are all one big family and brian I didn't tell you when I finally got to meet you you are ugly sir wish we could have got to feesh together maby next trip...........................big h is fat

One question: Do you enjoy paying $32 for a Sportsman license? There is a lot of money coming into MS via out of staters-fishermen..

Legal is legal... If u dont like it take it up with YOUR law makers. There is just to much other stuff wrong with our society and shouldnt be worrying about who fishes where

So the answer to your question is i wouldnt care if the big four was in my home state.

I also bet all the business owners dont mind either

Ennivator thought me and you was twins We'll get together next trip

Last time i checked this a free country you can travel to any state you want and do whatever as long as you obey the law a bunch of men and women have died for this country not one particular state. Those lakes are funded by federal funds so the right to use them belongs to all of us.

Exactly, which helps keep other costs down by helping offset them. I've spent an average of $1000 a month here, not a bundle by any means, but it all adds up, not to mention the local economy, jobs, etc. Some people can't see past their noses though.
