Actually thats not quite the case or full story there JW.
There has been a request for a fee increase for the hunting license for several years now. It has hinged upon one thing...
Killing less deer. Legislators are preventing the fee increase on behalf of the complaining hunters of the state. This is well known and Pgc has been informed of this over and over at meetings with the legislators. If they were to make responsible changes, there'd would be no need for more antlerless tags.. The excess of which is only giving them maybe an additional mil or two anyway...
They would be recieving MUCH more by getting the fee increase than theyd lose by going to a reasonable allocation.
There have been no promises of change nor any responsible changes made, so giving them a fee increase at this time wouldnt solve our problems. It would simply compound them ten fold. It will set back the hope for any change by at least another decade and during that time the roots grow deeper and spread wider.
