I understand the sentiment of what you are saying and I certainly will be if I end up paying another $10 on top of my license fees, invasive sticker fee, Ririe boatramp fee, etc.... However, I believe the F&G is in serious need of a permanent funding source. Their budget rises and falls with the economy just like many of our jobs do. Yet they are expected to manage the hunting, fisheries and nongame species for an ever diverse population who is pulling them in all sorts of directions.

I have known many F&G officers/biologists and all of them have been hard working individuals. The lounge chair types might be in Boise but I don't know them.

As far as their equipment goes we have short memories. A few years ago they were all driving ancient trucks that were falling apart on a regular basis. They finally decided to upgrade the whole fleet. I don't begrudge them the equipment necessary to do their jobs to the best of their ability.

I say thank the F&G for the great job they are doing given the difficulty of their job.
