Nobody seems to get the import of this case:

A state can't discriminate against visiting residents of other states.
Since you are using this case from Maryland, maybe you can explain why is it that Maryland is still violating the law? Maryland, like most other states, charges a premium on non-resident hunting licenses. While I have not checked all 50, those that I have all charge non-residents more. I am not challenging you on this, Jim. I actually hoping that you have some insight on the matter and can share it with us.

Tourists get lost and robbed in D.C. too. Maybe they should be required to have a licensed guide instead of being allowed to roam around on their own. And don't get me started on tourists driving.
Don't get hung up with selective benefits as being causality of the law unless you know for a fact that they are.

Alaska requires out of state hunters to use a guide for hunting brown bear. I would think that the guide would be expected to know the regulations better than the average out of state hunter but that doesn't seem to be the case with Nugent. Perhaps Alaska didn't charge Nugent in the case because he used a state licensed guide on his black bear hunt.
As a further note, he wasn't hunting brown bear. The was hunting black bear, or at least that is what he shot two of. A guide is not required for black bear unless you are a non-resident alien.
