I use to give classes and did not make much after all my expenses, I made much more working my normal job.
The class are in an area where most people don't have to travel to far (population centers). .

As much as I prefer to do the legal thing and abide by the regulations and laws, its rediculous how stupid and straining the process in CT is. I think all the yupps in Hartford think everyone is stupid and lacks common sense. Honestly, wtf? you don't to take a 3 day course to get a fishing license, but you need the course for hunting? I have lived in CT for 99% of my life, and have YET to hear about ANY hunting related crimes. BUT, I have seen people take 50+ snapper Bluefish from LIS, when the limit is 10. I have seen this happen almost every time I hit the beaches. I think its great to see a family of 10 eating toxic fish every day. Get sick, die and stop destroying outdoor recreation because you have your whole illegal family in your Chevy van and only 2 of you work.Hard to answer ramblings.....
