Pete, what we are dealing with is so astoundingly stupid its really hard to wrap your mind around. We lost our entire summer season of course, but it gets worse. They opened the Yukon up to BC residents, but thats it. Albertans, and all other Canadians are still not allowed in. So I can sell trips to BC folks but no one else. The crazy part is that no other province in the west have their borders closed including BC! So a BC resident can travel anywhere in Canada they want then turn around and come to the Yukon no problem but if you have any other drivers license you cant......actually you can come in but then you have to quarantine for 14-days.....of course no-one is going to do that to go on vacation, hunting or fishing. We have had multiple calls from Alberta but I have to tell them they cant come. Its so frustrating trying to make a go of it in this era of total stupidity. The rules they come up with are really something out of the twilite zone...The poor alaskans coming through are being treated like dirt by some of the locals too. Some of those altercations have even made the paper....slurs like dirty american have been thrown about in downtown Whitehorse....its disgusting. [/quote]
I know what you're saying. We lost most of our spring bear hunters due to this, Idaho quit selling out of state licenses for a period. The state wasn't closed, you could come but you couldn't buy a out of state hunting license, if you had one already you could buy a tag (got one hunter from Washington this way, already had his license because he always comes over and deer hunts). They've opened it back up, but some of our hunters from back east are still in states that are quarantining thier residents, and Montana isn't very friendly to "tourists" passing through, which the majority of our hunters have to do. We'll see how it is come fall season, but it looks slimmer than normal.
