The WI DNR has been under funded for years, then CWD killed off a lot of their income during the 2000-2001 seasons before people understood what it was, and what was happening. Yes, the price raises suck, but it's a nessisary evil if you want the DNR to be able to function.

I also dislike the "earn a buck" system, but I understand why it is nessisary. That doesn't mean I agree with it though.

Go ahead and complain about the prices - but I feel no sympathy. I pay out the wazzoo for out-of-state.
