Honestly I could care less about IMS, Kentucky Derby or other events. I'm concerned with outdoor activities such as Fishing and Hunting. I've lived in both states and still hunt and fish in both, more so in KY because I think they have better programs and better opportunities for the money.

Indiana may promote tourism but they do not promote Fish and Wildlife. I don't know if there is a way to find out or not but I'm sure KY and ILL has much more revenue generated off of hunting and fishing than IN. Go talk to the guys at the Patoka office in Oakland City. They'll show you how many properties that they have people ready to sell to them to add to the Patoka WMA but they state will not help them get the money for the land. In fact some of our state politicians don't feel its a good investment or its not the states job to buy land to provide opportunities for outdoor recreation.
