The problem as I see it is that raising liscense fees sucks.
Why? because the moeny will only go to improving stuff until the legislature meets and decides to steal more money from sportsmen to fund some idiot project like the legacy highway.
I say raise the ammount of cash that sportsmen pay but so it through channels that the state boneheads cant confiscate, then make the DWR put the cash DIRECTLY into habitat improvment.
Raisning liscence fees doesnt bother me, its where the increase goes that sucks big time.
I dont want to see another penny of my contribution go to a trout hatchery, or to some legislator who voted to give himself a raise, or anything but habitat enhancment, the purchase of winter range, more multi species fishery studies and such things.
I absolutley love the habitat improvment projects that the DWR did at bear lake. I would love to pay more to fund things like that.
