Muzzy you have every right to your opinions and I agree with several of them but you need to remember that others have as much right to theirs as well. We all love to hunt an enjoy the outdoors and most of the sportsmen/women I know never gripe about the cost of a back tag and all the add ons. What they do gripe about is the fact the the PGC does not listen to the majority of sportsmen in the state when we tell them there are problems. they blow us off as half baked lazy bums who frequent bars by noon opening day of hunting season and cry in our beer. Granted some do that but what about the rest of us? Shouldn't we have a say if we don't feel the PGC has taken the HRs too far in some areas? Shouldn't we voice our opinions too? Shouldn't we feel betrayed by Board Commisioners whom are now appointed to the position rather than voted in by the sportsmen to represent us...you remember "US" the rank n file whom pay the bills day in and day out only to have the PGC listen to other orgs not putting one cent into the pot?
The fact the PGC needs rate hikes isn't questioned by most, but were now using it to get what we want...just as other orgs such as dcnr has done as well.
