Now if the majority of hunters are well satisfied with the PGC's deer management then they'll also aprove the fee hike.
Look at this site for example. Those that feel there are plenty of deer want the increase.
Those of us that are not happy with the PGc's deer management plan are the ones against a fee hike.
So if you guys are correct about only the USP types being the whining minority, then legaslators should have no fear.
Could it be that in some way you PGC supporters actually realize that the majority of hunters are unhappy and legislators also know that the majority are unhappy.
Think about it.
It's kind of obvious that you've only become aware of the politics involved in a license increase recently. Hunting and fishing license increases have ALWAYS been a political hot potato. Wait, Maybe I shouldnt say always, but I can say for sure it's been that way for 50+ years. I wasnt around before that so I guess awlways is a long time.
If you think a big controversey over a license increase is a new thing, you havent been paying attention over the years.
