I fully intend to only buy my general deer permit this year. No archery, no Muzzleloader and no fishing license. They are going to raise the rates on us this year but they will lose money from my pocket. I feel it is time to vote with the wallet. I can still get the venison I like by just hunting during general season and will let them try to figure out how to make up the difference. I figure I will save close to $60.00 and can us it to pay for gas.

How many seasons do you think it would take if all hunters bought less permits but were still able to get venison? Would the VDGIF say the next deer harvest was still lower due to weather? I do not think so. I will do what I am doing and all others will have to make their own choices BUT something needs to break or we will lose more land, pay more and have less hunters in the woods. Kind of what the anti hunting groups want anyway.
