"Baldwin v. Fish and Game Commission of Montana", 436 U.S. 371 (1978), is a United States Supreme Court case in which affirmed the right of the state of Montana to charge higher fees for out of state elk hunters. [ [http://supreme.justia.com/us/436/371/ BALDWIN V. FISH & GAME COMM'N OF MONTANA, 436 U. S. 371 (1978)] (justia.com)] The Court held that the Montana statutory elk-hunting license scheme is an economic means not unreasonably related to the preservation of a finite resource—elk—and a substantial regulatory interest of that State, and hence does not violate the Equal Protection Clause or the Privileges and Immunities Clause.
