PR funds are paid to the states on a 3-1 ratio I believe. For every dollar a state takes in for license, tags, fees associated with hunting/trapping, the state gets 3 dollars in PR funds. In hunting, non res income is often more than resident income, thus non res matching is TREMENDOUSLY more than res. Usually I think. In Alaska, non residents pay the majority of money, thru the PR match, for wildlife management.
Pretty common for state legislatures to ALWAYS be looking for more money. A non res trapping license, maybe associated with species tags, or other sources of charging non res that the state doesn't charge the res would noticeably INCREASE revenue to a states wildlife management money.
You can play this out to democrat legislators by pointing out that more money to the state means higher pay for state employees. Since most or all your state employees are union members, more money for the employee means more money to the union. Where do democrat legislators get a lot of their campaign money from? UNIONS!

Glad SD isn’t a union state.
