OK. I understand.

How many of these tourist hunters load up there suit cases with meat or do they eat it before they leave.
There are plenty of game farms and private places for them to hunt with a guide or if they are lucky somebody will take them for a hunt.
I have no idea on numbers but I don't think there would be to many country's in the world who would let any tourist hunt for free.

OK, but if they went into the sticks unguided, should they pay a premium? After all they're really not much more than a hiker with a rifle?

Don't forget that we are not the only country of hunters in the world a lot of overseas hunters are highly skilled and have been hunting for generations.
It has not reached a point yet where its really affecting us or our rights but it will get there.
History shows what happens when you let people in for free that they take advantage.
Ask the Native people of colonised country's our own included.
