I have been living in reality for a week, so what is this I hear about that train?
I don't have time to pee around, but I did find this one post very foretelling of what I may find.
Meethinks there are some sore people out there.
"As Howard Stern's Eugene Mamalookaboobooday put it in his hilarious "kill the white man" skit....kill it until it is dead.
Yesterday's NRC clown show made me feel like a sucker. For my entire adult life, I've supported our state's deer natural resource management structure. I've defended it from detractors, stood up for it when it wasn't popular to do. And, importantly, I've bought hunting licenses. Lots of them. And purchases of hunting licenses is what fuels the Fish & Game Fund.
Every year, I've purchased the combo license, even though I don't kill a buck in most years. I purchase as many private land antlerless permits as I'm allowed, including five of 'em last year. I end every deer season with unused deer harvest tags. I purchase small game licenses even though I don't hunt small game. I purchase fishing licenses even in years that I don't fish. It never bothered me in the slightest to behave in this manner. Hell, I loudly and consistently supported higher license fees whenever that matter came up.
Seeing the duplicitous nature of some of our resource managers in this sorry episode has been an eye-opener for me. And hopefully for others as well (I am at heart an optimist).
No more. They can get their dough elsewhere. I plan on purchasing a single buck license and one private land antlerless permit. When I kill my doe, I may buy another antlerless permit, but, henceforth, it's one-at-a time, baby.
Perhaps one day, I'll go back to my old generous ways if and when they begin to act in a manner that exhibits some respect for the wishes of most deer hunters.
Until then, it's....starve the beast. Tank those license sales, and tank 'em hard. "
Pitiful. They say MAPRs will improve hunter retention, and that is one of their main points, and then they quit hunting because they don't get their pacifier. PITIFUL!!!!!!!!
