If fishing and hunting license holders are exempt then it wont affect me much at all....but as junky stated, they could possibly ticket family that is only along for the ride then it could get tricky for some of us.....My sister from out of state would like to go out and view the lake and take some boat rides, park visiting, camping, I wonder if we will have to check areas that are fee exempt, sort of like open fishing waters in a fishing regulation book lol...
I don't think out of staters should be footing a larger bill anymore then already on the books....I went fishing in washington a couple weeks ago and paid 26.00 for a two pass of fishing....but we also paid hotel rooms, dinning, general expenses that helped the local economy....my $26 covered for 4 steelhead landed and a couple of whitefish..the dollar ratio for my license vs 1 fish kept is much higher then the locals that keep more throughout the year.
