Mich from the very outset of our first ever take in Mich, what 12 years ago has always allowed non-residents to come here, so I am not sure what you are on about. I am all for reciprosity and it should involve any one coming to Mich having to pay what their state charges non-residents, take only what there state allows nonresidents to take. Isn't that what truly reciprosity is?
Barry,
I'm just going on what I mentioned in my response to Aimee, which was when earlier this year someone mentioned about going for, I believe, a passage gos and when I mentioned an interest, I was told it was only allowed for MI falconers. Listen, I fully agree with you about eyass take here in Ohio. Some of our own ranks have been our biggest hurdle as well as the factor that we'd actually have to change the ohio revised code (an actual change of ohio laws that our state senate would have to vote on). Also, as I mentioned I know many of our falconers have gone to either PA, Indiana or KY for eyass takes, but I've never heard of anyone going to MI for an eyass take. Do you all even allow an eyass gos take for out of state residents? And if so, do out of staters have an equal opportunity to get one of those permits, or does that opportunity go to MI falconers first (which I would fully understand)?
