my point is we have better fishing in ny so why would i buy a pa license
and thats the best you could come up with? If you think you have such great fishing there why do you feel the need to spend so much time on the PA boards making worthless posts?
Also, are you telling me the hunting is much better in NY so I should go spend 3-4x as much to hunt up there? It doesn't matter what state you go to, an out of state license for hunting or fishing will cost you. Thats how they make their money. People go on vacations. Most go out of state. That requires a license to fish/ hunt and the states all realize that and price it accordingly. States that get more vacationers will usually cost more for these as they see that as "easy" money. Its the same reason a 3 day or 7 day or whatever temporary license you have usually costs about 1/2 to 1/3 of what it would to buy it for the year.
NY's 7 day is I believe $22 or something like that while a yearly non resident is $40. I plan on going salmon fishing twice, possibly 3 times so obviously I'd buy the yearly and use it 2-3x. Most people who will only go once would buy the 7 day and spend more than half of what I will and will be able to fish for 1 week out of 52. Does that seem fair to you?
The ONLY reason I go fish NY at all is for the salmon run and we don't have it here in PA so I have no choice. Every other species I want to target I can find in PA waters, most within 45 minutes of where I live. The only fish I want to target that I'd have to drive quite some distace to here in PA, would be steelhead, everything else, I have relatively close by.
