for a Resident NY "super sportsmans" license! went from 68$ last year, to 88$ +10$ for two doe tags. At least i drew a 3P. I knew the license fees were going up, but 30$??? I left the house w/ 100$ in my wallet, good thing I brown bag my lunch or Id be pretty hungry about now.

There was talk about the increase in this forum for a few weeks now. I guess If you'd read some of the posts you would have been in for less of a shock.
$20.70 Pa Resident
$11.70 Muzzy stamp
$16.70 Archery Stamp
$16.70 Bear Stamp
$21.70 Extra Spring Gobbler Tag
$06.70 Doe Tag
$06.70 Bonus Doe Tag
$32.70 Fishing Lic w/trout stamp
And I think a furtrappers license runs about $22.00 these days.

I'll have to agree with you on the bear hunting. As for the trout stocking, that's very debatable. In these parts, the PFBC cut back so drastically on the numbers of trout stocked, that local sportsman formed clubs such as The Upper Pine Creek Sportsman Association. Clubs like this accept donations from local businesses and sell memberships to individuals and use these proceeds to purchase trout to stock. If it wasn't for these clubs, there would be very few trout to fish for. I've been helping with the PFBC's trout stocking for years. According to my estimates, we only get about 30% of the trout that we used to get.
