Just saw on channel 13 that the proposed licenses that will go up for fishing will be from 14 to 20 dollars and deer hunting from 20 to 32 dollars. what are everybody’s thoughts on that>? I think out of state licenses should be raised a lot more than in staters, but what do you all think?
I don’t have a problem paying a bit more than I already do for a fishing license.
Do the math….
take the number of days that you fish divided by the cost of your license….CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP !!!!! 
as far as BFD and Big B….they work for the city…rack their bill up big time !! 
Money and time off is no problem when you are a government cheesedick. Right B 
I would have no problem with the rate increase if the money would stay within DNR programs. Problem is our communist party governor will use it to pay other bills.
that is the same thing that i worry about, that is why if it doesn’t stay with the dnr charge the out of staters more.
Nonresident licences are also increasing, a 25 dollar increase for gun deer and archery. A proposed 6 dollar increase for non-resident fishing. From the literature I received from the DNR it states that fish and game fees cannot be used to offset the state’s general tax deficit and must be deposited into the Fish & Wildlife Account.
It looks like the best values will the Patron and Sportsman Licenses with increases of 30 dollars and 10 dollars respectively.
LOL BFD! I know a gal on the 10th floor who looks just like the individual pictured! Only difference is in the ears!
Anyway, the issue. Ummm……………if it gets too expensive you’ve got two choices. Boycott or make more money. I’m thinking a $6 increase can be resolved by one volunteer hour at a local “Mickey D’s”. A half day and it’s all covered. As ecnook pointed out………….in the breakdown, it’s pretty insignificant.
One thing I think the states are trying to work on is becoming more self-sufficient. I’ve wondered for years why they haven’t charged more so the feds had little to no leverage in the state’s business and particular interests.
On the other hand, it’s sort of like taxes and we’re already WAY over burdened for the lifestyles we desire. We are the only ones who can really make a difference in it so if I were to throw out any suggestion, it’s this. Look at the big picture………..like 5-10-20 years from now and make your projections. If you want to preserve your recreation long term, you may have to sacrifice some in the short term to build it.
Any time money and expense is an issue, the only thing holding you back is limited resources. If you can think, then there is no limit, only a decision. The rest will fall in with the time table you determine.
