Too bad Ben ~ the buying of hunting licenses, sports equipment, camping equipment and park fees (are many others) funds the many many widlife conservation programs to which benefits everydbody including you! Hunters are an important fact in the control of many wildlife populations and that is why game laws are published - so we as hunters have a sustainable populations.
And if you really loved everyone ~ you would try to understand rather than ridicule!
I agree with this statement and for Ben.. Up here in Maine they have been trying to give another burden to us. They are trying to make us register our double end canoes that we paddle. That is because they want to get more money from our water ways that the non hunters and non fisherman use to enjoy with all of us. That is a shame but they want money from all that enjoy the outdoors up here. The very same thing that the sportsmen pay for to try and keep it that way. So it is at least for now a free ride for those that do not hunt or fish. So that they enjoy exactly what the sportsmen does to presurve it and enjoy it. So becarefull they are looking for ways of charging you folks now as well. That will only add to our costs as sportsmen which we already pay to keep it.
