Nah. No reason to do so.

Unless there is a legitimate, definitive, provable resource being impacted negatively that might warrant some kind of percent cap on resident and non-resident hunting, I don't see the big deal. Non-residents do more than "kill mah deeeerrrr!" by spending money on gas, food, hotels, at other stores, at processors, and through their license fees. We do the same in other states when we go fishing and hunting there.


And know this: If the state gave in to this selfish lunacy, resident license costs would increase and they would come up with other ways to make the shortfall. Permits for gun, bow, xbow and muzzleloaders, for example. Mandatory turkey and deer "conservation" stamps. Small-game habitat stamps. Myriad fishing licenses and permits, like a "conservation stamp" for fishing or added boat ramp fees or Guide License or Tournament Fees for any tournament.


Some of y'all going on about rules and regulations to change are going to rue the day if you keep on about it. You're going to be like the dog that catches the truck and then thinks "Huh, WTF now?" and realize too many laws-regs-rules are bullchit. Less is more in that regard.
