Default RE: WEST VIRGINIA "Freezer Hunters"

I am not going to comment about what sex and how many deer are killed other than that I am a member and firm believer in the QDMA. One main problem with the DNR is that it is so underfunded because they won't raise the license fees. No money means no law enforcement. But after interning with the 3 CO's where I live, the fines are so cheap and if the magistrate court doesn't care they don't prosceute them anyway. They get off with a small fine and the court cost. Look at the fines other states impose and revoking of your hunting privilege. Our WV government thinks we are to poor to pay for the license and can't afford to pay fines for poaching therefore decreasing the value of our wildlife. Look at the dnr's new license proposal page and look at the cost of licenses from our neighboring states. It's a joke and it cheapens the value of our animals. If you want more CO's though, people are going to have to buck up and pay for an increase.
