" It' s not that I mind paying for the higher priced license, and I reckon I will. I realize prices go up over the years, and $4 in ten years isn' t that bad. The thing is that I can' t help but think that Taft is behind this. It' s also hard to swallow that all the money is going to stay in the ODNR or the USFW. The way this state is, this country for that matter, I just don' t believe some of the money won' t be used for other things. If I knew the ODNR was getting all the money, then I wouldn' t mind at all. I don' t believe that though, and it rubs me a little bit rough to think we' re being taxed to front the problems through out the rest of the state.

Brandan,

All of the money from hunting and fishing license goes to the ODNR. The government cannot use this money for other purposes. That is the law and it will take a lot more than Gov. Taft to override this law. ODNR is close to losing money from the general fund and since hunting licenses are down they need to find a way to increase funds or face losing more resources. I guess you can blame Taft for this in a round about way. We are already the 47th state in purchasing land to set aside for hunting and fishing uses. If we continue to lose the finding then we will be 50th and olur children and oru grandchildren will have no place to hunt or fish.
