Just remember Phil, when you have non hunters help pay the frieght and they now have some skin in the game, they will be in a better position to start making demands and that could come back to bite you in the Butt. There was a move in PA to make non hunters, bikers, horseback riders, hikers etc. pay a fee to use state game lands. We beat it back for now but that would have been a huge mistake and the non huntes were looking forward to it, not because they wanted to pay but because they believed it would give them more power, which it would have. We are better off having them be guests of the sportsmen than paying participants because they and us are at cross purposes.
