I have to wonder if the DNR feels their backs are to the wall on this. Getting much needed $$$ from these fees cause our dork a** gov is cutting their budgets and workers left and right.

I personally think we need to utilize the (what is it called) Pittman Roberson act MUCH MORE FULLY, declaring purchases of boots, sleeping bags, camp food, hunting fuel, socks, treestands, scopes. binoculars, long underwear, bumper dumpers, tents, solar showers, hatchets, guncases, ATV's (?), food plot seed, flashlights, ANYTHING declared for hunting, so that a small percentage would come back to us.

Best thing is (and it would p*ss him off royally!) Gov little lips couldn't touch it!

There could be some sort of notice at stores outlining the workings and you could indicate what was being used for hunting/fishing. Not just strictly guns & ammo.

Just another one of my "crazy" ideas? I really don't think so. It could be the cash the DNR so badly needs!
