As far as the scent part of your post is concerned, IMHO if the reason you stated is why they put it into effect they have overreacted and it won't do a thing. As far as making a separate bear license apart from the way it used to be, I see no problem with that since that's the way most all of the states do their big game licenses. What are the new fees and have your fees been raised recently? If they haven't been, IMHO you have to pay to play and costs go up just due to inflation alone and have to be accounted for. MI just had a major license restructuring a year ago with a number of substantial fee increases and it was very well received because the fees had been static for quite a few years.
