"Weather or not the PGC is managing the herd properly isn't really a question, because we all know thatthey leave MUCH to be desired, there's no doubt. But my thinking is, a license cost increase may give them the extra funds they needto help themdo the kind ofjob that we all would like to see them doing. An example,as I'm sure you're aware, there are many units that don't have the number of WCO's that they need/should have. I just don't think that expecting them to do their jobwith insufficient funding is realistic thinking."

The probems you speak of were created by "other" and "bigger" problems. Problems which are preventing them from getting more money in the first place. Sportsmens complete lack of trust in them the farce deer program and that has nothing to do with too few wcos. Fix the problems causing all other problems, and we won't have them to begin with. Fix the deer plan. That simple. Do so and we then have more money for pgc and PLENTY of wcos and equipment etc. Give them more cash without any commitment to change, they may then have more wcos etc, but the root problem never goes away....Hunter numbers continue declining in future, dissatisfaction never improves, and we are no better than when we started off, other than we get to pay a few more peoples wages.

I have no problem with your differing view. I also have no problem with your desire for funding of pgc "no matter" the current situation. Thats why I provided you with the donation link. I don't think you should impose your will on the rest who disagree with you. In other words when I and hundreds of thousands are very disatisfied with treehugger commission, we shouldnt have to pay more at this time because a small but vocal portion of supporters say so. They are free to "put there money where their mouth is" and leave the rest of us out of it.
