And if I do as you and some other people have suggested, and book a hunt outside of Alberta, a very large portion of my hunting budget will be spent outside of Alberta. So when you consider my money is being removed from the Alberta economy, as a result of some non resident's money being spent in Alberta, the Alberta economy really doesn't gain anything.


That is by far the most ridiculous statement I have ever read on this forum.

Go ahead and list off all the out of country hunts you've done because you didn't get a draw tag to make up for the 100 Million dollars of money injected into the Alberta economy each and every year.

I hope you didn't study economics in school !!! 😉
