We don't want a handout from the General Fund. When the PGC does work for non game, their time and expenses should be billed to the General Fund. I'm sure other departments or agencies bill the PGC for worked performed by them.

With the number of hunter decreasing each year, I think it's time to stop buying SGL's, take that money and useit for creating better habitat on our land, starting with replacing all our land crew and increasing their numbers.

I feel it's unfair to just increase the general license for everyone, those of us that have our own land or belong to leases don't hunt SGL's. We pay our own taxes or payments to hunt on leases and clubs, plus put our time and money into bettering the habitat and food plots. Lets have the hunters that use the SGL pay a fee to hunt them, this money would go towards the upkeep of those SGL. This would stop a lot of hunters from hunting the SGL on the first day, then hunting their own private land after that. If these hunters also want to hunt the SGL, let them pay twice if that is what they wish to do.

Hunters applying for antlerless tags to be used on public land, should only be allowed to receive one tag, those applying for private land tags, should be allowed to purchase private land tags until theyrun out or make them unlimited if they want to. If a hunter is dumb enough to shoot every deer on his private land, he doesn't deserve to have deer there anyway.

We need to find a way to get the pressure off the SGL's, at least on our doe harvest, rather than losing hunters like we are.
