Let me ask you all a question. If game departments do not charge hunters for tags, permits, etc. what are they supposed to do to sustain themselves and conservation work in that state? I'm just asking. They got to have money, and I for one, though I don't like to pay high prices to hunt, am glad that hunters foot the bill for conservation. Guys, the fact that our money pays the conservation bill in this nation is a very valuable stronghold for us. Get rid of hunting (or the fact that hunters pay the bills) equals an end to conservation as we know it. I am not saying DNRs should rip anybody off or that it should become an elitist sport. I am just saying that if we don't pay for our sport and the expenses it takes to make conservation happen, then nobody else will. I think hunters need to protect the fact that they fund conservation. It's like a constantunarguable reminderto antis, animal rights activists and others who think hunting is wrong that we as hunters do as much or more than anybody else for wildlife. It's nice to look them in the eye and be able to say that we huntersare actually the ones paying for the well-being of wildlife, not them. What can they say to that?
