The bottom line is that the money to run each state’s wildlife programs has to come form somewhere. Hunter’s in this state have to date wanted to be the sole source of wildlife management funding and they are with the exception of the slight revenue from timber, minerals or restricted use federal funds so it will either cost them more or they will simply end up with less in wildlife management then states that are better funded with tax dollars.
In those general fund states the license fees just help augment the tax dollars being used for wildlife management. But, hey hunters in this state are afraid of that type of funding. I guess Pennsylvania hunters don’t trust their politicians enough to allow tax dollars being used in wildlife management like occurs in all those other states.

D i c k,
We already know what your pathetic opinion is of hunters. We also know how you would like to see the commission held less acountable to hunters. That is what is in your heart. It has nothing to do with the cost of a hunting license.
What is really obvious is that you know far less about what I want or stand for then you think you do.
I have spent a lifetime standing up for the best possible management or our resources and for the betterment of hunting and the hunter while people like you have done your best to destroy all of those things.
It is really quite simple, if hunters aren’t willing or even demanding that they adequately fund wildlife management then any RESPONSIBLE person that cares about the future of wildlife and hunting has to look for other methods of funding wildlife management. If you aren’t smart enough to figure that out that I don’t figure you as much of a benefit to the future of hunting or wildlife and nothing more then part of the problem.
