I'll take a stab. A Hunting license increase will be looked upon by those that have to pay it the same way they do a tax increase. No one likes a tax increase and voters tend to take out their displeasure over tax increases on those who voted for said increase.
Historically the GC and FC do not get license increases until the situation is desperate.
If every single hunter in PA killed a buck this past season most would still be unhappy with a license increase.

If this is so true, then how did license fees get to the price they are today?
Fishing license use to be about $8, so did hunting license. Look how much they are today.
I say let the PGC go bankrupt and let the DCNR take over.
