These quotes came out of the Billings Gazette.com website, it's a battle of all the west against USO! And a possible solution in the last paragraph for all to view!
Quote:
The Arizona plaintiffs already have visited Montana officials, Lane said, but they stopped short of saying they would sue. They specifically suggested Montana change the way it issues big game licenses, he said.
U.S. District Judge Robert Broomfield ruled July 13 that by limiting nonresidents to 10 percent of available licenses, Arizona violated the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution.
A commercial hunter from New Mexico sued the Arizona Fish and Game Department. He said the state's rules deprived him of an equal opportunity to obtain elk and deer heads and antlers, which can be worth thousands of dollars to collectors, and Broomfield agreed.
Lane said Montana legislators could pass a law next session making it illegal for anyone to sell the hide, head or antlers of a game animal, and that could address the commerce issue of the Arizona case
