Contrary to what the author of this article thinks access to public/federally-managed land is a non-issue. No non-resident is being denied access. The author's ignorance on how wildlife resources are managed is telling.
Based on his back-ground it looks like he can afford non-resident fees, and he can likely access privately-owned for-fee hunting lands that lock-out residents, aside from those private lands in "a "block-management program"; and in many instances prevent the general public from accessing public lands by out-of-state land owners.
A state's wildlife resources are managed by the states according to the North American Wildlife Model, and the Public Trust Doctrine.

State agencies regulate hunting and fishing to conserve wildlife populations, ensure sustainable ecosystems, and provide safe, equitable access to natural resources. These regulations are funded by license fees and equipment taxes, which support habitat restoration and scientific management, upholding the American System of Conservation Funding.

Key reasons for regulation include:
- Conservation and Sustainability: Regulations prevent overharvesting (e.g., season limits, quotas) that previously led to population collapses in the late 19th century.
- Population Management: Controlled hunting and fishing help manage population levels to prevent disease, habitat destruction, and nuisance issues, according to The Wilderness Society.
- Funding Conservation: License fees and specialized taxes provide primary funding for State Fish and Wildlife Agencies, supporting habitat protection for all species, not just game animals.
- Safety and Order: Regulations ensure safety for hunters, anglers, and the general public, as noted in the State Fish and Wildlife Management Authority overview.
- Equitable Access: Management ensures that wildlife resources are available for public enjoyment and subsistence.
