Was unaware of increases across the board for all fishing and hunting that we will do this year! I didn't get a raise! Hope the state puts more fish and deer out there for us!
and better boat launches, im afraid the state doesn't care half as much about fishing, other than tourist trap crap. and the same for hunting, they don't want hunters here, just license sales. I don't even want to get started on effing bait and prices!
Maybe a registration on kayaks,
Have a $5 reg fee on canoes/kayaks only if you don't buy a hunting or fishing license! That way the treehuggers pay and we don't pay MORE.
I'll make sure not to use any accesses unless I'm fishing, don't want to upset anyone.
oh no a hole $2 increase in my combo licnese. that's one half of a beer less I can drink at the bar now this year in exchange of enjoying the privilidge of fishing and hunting for a WHOLE YEAR!!!!! give me a break ya bunch of whiners
just curious. how much is a license down there?
http://www.vtfishandwildlife.com/library/Reports_and_Documents/Fisheries/Accessareas/access-area-rules.pdfinteresting stuff! according to the rules, a person fishing can use the access with a canoe or the such but if they are not they technically need to find a different place to put their boat in!
I think its important to understand were the money actualy comes from before people try to run out an entire group of people based on if they fish/hunt or not! I know i often fish from a canoe because i CAN NOT AFFORD to pay for a boat and all the fees! I would assume this is the case for many! SO lets push them out or make people pay more fees, like we dont already! but back to the funding! according to the numbers only 1/3rd of the total operating costs of F&W come from licence sales! That said the rest has to come form somewhere, like tax payers! So those people that dont fish are paying for access use in one way or another! your fishing licence is so you can fish not use an access!
