MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
insted of looking to raise more why dont they look at cuts,the amount of money they wast is rediculious.
Just curious, what do you think the G&F should cut? Where do they waste money?ClearCreek
I don't know, just asking. How many non residents come to Wyoming each year to hunt or fish?
Multi million dollar building in Jackson.
Can you build an office building in Jackson that does not cost several million dollars??
If money is so tight, they should not spend it so freely.
...and some people still act like paying 80-100$ is a big deal for a license.I think a big deal is when the G/F loses operational funding and your favorite lakes quit getting stocked.
... but I think a two pole permit is a good place to at least start on the fishing side. Charge 15-20$ for an annual two pole permit. That would bump revenue up a little bit and so will busting the idiots who refuse to read the regs ever year. Many states already have a two pole permit - I don't see why Wyoming does not make this quick and easy change.
This reminds me of another problem, a bigger one....facing our country.I'm for increasing the price of tags / licenses because I can afford to pay it and I understand the prices have to go up sometimes. But I am not for wasteful or unnecessary spending that is for sure. I imagine the G/F can make a few cuts here or there on something and things will be fine. Cut the waste and increase fees a little bit and we should be fine for awhile. (even if there is not a lot of waste to cut, it should be looked into).I have not hunted for years because I'm always to eager to go fishing instead. I don't know as much about tags and the like so I prefer not to comment on price changes there... but I think a two pole permit is a good place to at least start on the fishing side. Charge 15-20$ for an annual two pole permit. That would bump revenue up a little bit and so will busting the idiots who refuse to read the regs ever year. Many states already have a two pole permit - I don't see why Wyoming does not make this quick and easy change. There ought to be a way to raise a little revenue from lodging taxes and the like too. I think you got to put everything on the table and find a way to get this done. It's doable, very doable... just got to sit down and hash it out.
I am very aware of that Clearcreek I usually fish two rods more often than not.I'm just saying they should make you have to purchase the right to fish with two rods. Like in some other states. Your license would allow 1 rod and if you want to fish with another one you have to buy a 2 pole permit for 15-20$.
What states do this ? I have fished Mt,Nd,Sd,Minn,Iowa and I never not one time payed to use 2 poles so I guess Im not sure what areas of the US. you have been fishing...
I have yet to ever here of charging someone for using 2 poles thats the craziest thing I ever heard someone say !!!! thats the reason we buy a fishing license to be able to use 2 pole on open water and 6 in the winter depending on the lake. what would be the point in buying a 36 dollar fishing license and then pay 20 dollars to use a pole this idea is absolutely rediculous !!!! ITS A BAD IDEA!!!!
I agree, a 2nd pole permit is redicilous. Raising fees is a short term fix, a few years and it will happen again and again. A 1 or 2% statewide tax sounds like a better fix. Energy companies coming in for a few years and making millions and leaving residents without jobs should be paying into a fund that can be used for funding.
