[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3984963, member: 35036"] Wildlife conservation is a national concern though. Just because you cant go in your backyard and shoot a bighorn sheep or grizzly bear doesn't mean you shouldn't care for or contribute to their conservation. Furthermore, even if money donated to conservation doesn't land in Oklahoma, it benefits other areas. If suddenly Texas had a huge boom of public hunting land availability and if all of a sudden public hunting there was top notch, people would have less of a reason to come to Oklahoma, thus reducing traffic and hunting pressure on our animals, making things better for purely Oklahoma based hunters and fishermen. The opposite is also a factor. If all of a sudden the states surrounding Oklahoma have zero hunting/land to hunt on, I guarantee we would have an unreal number of people coming to Oklahoma to hunt. So even if dollars go elsewhere for conservation, they can still benefit Oklahomans. I'm willing to bet the DU and QU land that I have hunted on here in Oklahoma was paid for by people in other states. Also, I do occasionally go hunting in other states when I have the luxury, so even if my money goes to help preserve grasslands in Kansas, I'll likely get to benefit from it eventually. [/QUOTE]
