fish and game is at it again!!!!!!

i agree fly. The states funds are definetly in trouble but thats how the times are. you cant turn on the news and not see something about the econemy, layoff, or bankruptsy of some sorts. i just wish rather than taking it out on the ppl who use these resources and are still willing to fork over the cash. they would learn to deal with what they have. if that means cutting some of the fish they would plant in the res. then in my mind thats something that would have to be delt with. i think the f&g wants to continue to run at full capasity if you will. but bottom line they arnt selling the tags, licenses. nor are the same number of ppl camping. which means loss income for them. they just cant continue to do what they have in good years. but just adding fees to other things like the invasive species now this does nothing but stick it to the ppl that still are coming and spending money.



[ul][li]5 percent decline in deer tags sold but hunter success increased to 34 percent over 33 percent in 2008.
[li]6 percent decline in elk tags sold, but hunter success increased to 20 percent from 19 percent in 2008.
[li]5.6 percent decline in pronghorn tags, but hunter success increased to 47 percent from 44 percent in 2008.[/li][/ul]
and if they think last years budget was bad with this kind of decline in sells. i can only imagine what the license increase will do to this years sells
