From the article, "Countless Oklahomans have shared their concerns and frustrations after they were unable to access a WMA due to the number of nonresident hunters and visitors."
The statement references "a WMA". Which WMA was it, there are several throughout the state.
The statement also references "countless", is that 100 or 3?
How did they know the hunters were out of state.
I'm not saying there isnt an issue here in OK or in any other state, but iam going to take a guess here...
Residents were hunting there normal WMA spot. Rolled up one day and saw vehicles with out of state plates.
Got passed and contacted the senator.
Sounds like this is local to one area and not a statewide issue, but I could be wrong.
I do believe that residents should have first access rights.
Perhaps make WMA's exclusive to residents on weekends or identify one week.
Maybe limit the nonresident tags via lottery.
