RE: A sad Hunter
While your escalator analogy sounds correct, I would describe it to be more like a series of toll booths. Pay at each one, or get off the road. And you can’t get to your destination without paying at each and every booth. The worst part about my analogy is they keep adding more booths!
Although my post sounds mostly like a complaint about money, in reality it’s more about the sorrow I’m feeling. I know that I will not be able to participate in hunting with friends and family in the very near future. My father is 70 years old, and although in very good health, has a limited number of years left to hunt. It is also a disappointment of fellow hunters that have attitudes like “hunt your own state, it is what it is, or doesn’t affect me”. This attitude of acceptance of unfair government practices allows government to continue and expand these types of programs. One day it will affect YOU!
