Now you know, I just had to put this here, because well, it's so damn funny! Just from the reaction I had first, when Ron Huber sent it to me! Of course I know what they mean but it has always struck me funny that Maine, and possibly many other areas persist in calling non residents "aliens"
So what the story Ron sent me really informs us about is a new piece of legislation that would require any non Maine resident to be accompanied by a licenced Maine Guide.
I don't have an opinion one way or another on the subject, but I just think its wild that there is now a statute on the books now with the words Alien and Big Game Hunter in the title. lol Arnold should hear about this one huh?
