This comment is aimed at the non-resident land owners proposal.
I purchased 400 acres about seven years ago. Spent $100,000 CN in the local Economy building a camp on that property. Pay tax’s on that property and developed land. Helped repair road and pay for road repairs that are forest roads owned by the MNR filling all the proper paper work with the MNR. Continue to support the local economy with purchases of gas, groceries, insurance, non- resident fishing and bear tags, hired local contractors for repairs.
I receive to trash service. No road maintenance no fire service no emergency services for the tax’s payed.
I’m allowed currently to file for one non-resident special bear tag that only the property owner can use.
I’m allowed to hunt in the WMU where my property is located only. I hunt my own property.
You want me to now pay for a outfitter to hunt my own land. This is a completely unfair proposal obviously developed by someone that wants more money.
I continue to contribute to the local economy but if this goes through those days are over.
This is not a fair proposal and to label it as such is a scam. Did you even notify all non resident land owner or just the ones that applied for a bear tag. I’m willing to bet you did not. Non-resident land owners that don’t hunt would not even approve of this
