I love it when they do their homework...........:teatime:
An Act To Require Alien Big Game Hunters To Be Accompanied by a GuideBe it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. [FONT=Times New Roman,Times,Georgia,serif]12 MRSA §11224 [/FONT] is enacted to read:
§ 11224. Hunting big game without a guide
An alien is guilty of hunting big game without a guide if that person hunts big game without being accompanied on the hunt by a person who holds a valid guide license pursuant to chapter 927 authorizing that person to act as a hunting guide.
summaryThis bill would make it illegal for a person who is not a citizen of the United States to hunt big game without being accompanied by a licensed guide.
What's funny is about 30% of MAINERS hunt like this except they have a couple thirty packs in the back!Sorry........... It's pretty scary out there with all these over-oranged road cruisers. I saw a group from vermont last fall.... had to be about eight guys. Three trucks filled running all out around #9 lake. Looking for a deer too stupid to stay just a few feet inside the tree line. in the three days they were in my area they were only out of the trucks long enough to pee and pick up a couple of partridge. I guarantee this group would have gotten lost in a bathtub........
Its a great idea to require a Licence Guide for aliens hunting in Maine or in any State in the US for that matter.
Why limit this only to hunting. Most tenderfoots get lost in the woods while "Treking" thats hiking to you all. They dont even have to buy a fish & Game licence but get to use all the resources like helicopter rescue and tie up the Game wardens resources.
Lets make it Mandatory for hiring a licenced Maine Guide for any recreational activity that is not encapsulated by boundrys (Golf, Downhill Sking and Stock car racing excempt of course)
Activities such as Llhama Trecking, X country Skiing, Mountain Biking, Kayacking etc. will now require permits available by the day of course.
Illegal aliens: MUST Hire Master Maine Guides! of course we get to collect a bounty when we turn them in to I.N.S.

Say what you mean! You mean CANADIAN hunters........not alien hunters. Doubt if many Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Rusky hunters are driving to Maine to hunt this coming fall. One thing I like about Americans is their directness.......they usually say what they mean......what happened this time?Its a great idea to require a Licence Guide for aliens hunting in Maine or in any State in the US for that matter.

I love this one. Have to admit you got me beat here................I'm definitely a city slicker used to hanging around URBAN areas like Resolute Bay, Frobisher, the Yukon & the Northwest Territories.Why limit this only to hunting.

All is not lost yet. My long deceased mum was born & raised in Houghton, Michigan, though I was born in Canada. I'll take a year off from Maine hunting while :gitrdone: I apply to the US State Department for a US passport. It'll take a while getting all the documentation together and wading through all the paperwork and well as kicking out a couple of grand for a immigration/citizenship lawyer.:gitrdone:One important note here...... If any province of Canada or any country in the world requires US citizens to hire a guide we should in turn require them to have a guide here. The "reciprical privelege" should be the standard. The fact that Nova Scotia requires Mainer's to hire a guide....should mean that NS citizens should be required to hire one here. All exceptions should be allowed. Allow us to hunt freely in your country at the same license rates as your own? Not likely...we pay extra to be tourists. It works both ways in the real world.
Now if you are a Canadian hunter and you are insulted that you are treated as a foreign national.....wake up!!!! You are!!! Yes we rely on the crossborder trade. But most Canadians would have life very hard if they didn't shop in the USA. Yes we leave our borders open for economic gain.... and the borders run green with money moving both ways.
If we seem arrogant about our way of life... i am sorry. But this is "our" country and we know it. As far as the recession... better shop while you can. Shortly the economy will flip back and you'll lose at least 30% on the dollar again. But you'll still cross and shop.... because it's cheaper here even then. The flood of trade has never ceased here in Houlton. In fact the local walmart has set records in the state since it opened. Thanks to the constant stream of Canadians spending their paychecks here every weekend. Admittedly in recent months they have gotten more for their buck...but we still get the buck.
Goes to show you that great minds think alike.Freakin' "over Homers" .........
Well since it seems you'll be awhile dealing with the INS there frost back. I don't think you'll be hunting in my "area" too soon. But when you come..bring your wallet.
Oh yea, better buy some land to hunt on. Seems landowners over here are tired of flatlanders and Snow monkeys messing about and are posting the land. I already have mine secured and permissions written.
Good luck to you..hope you like Michigan.
