I think this is the worst type of thinking for our sport of hunting. Jack-up rates and fees for fellow hunter? I don't know about the rest of you but, someday I would like my son and daughter to experience hunting in other places; a New Mexico elk hunt, a Alaskan bear hunt, or a Wyoming antelope hunt. Can the average guy do this? Not if states keep going up with hunting license fees. Raising fees does not seem like a way to encourage nonhunter to give it a try. Money is lost by small town USA with businesses that depend on the tourism during an otherwise slow season.
I think we all should check with our state gov. to find out where the license fees go. I can tell you a large percentage goes to non-game animal causes and to other non-hunting/fishing causes. You should be applauding Wisconsin for not soaking fellow Americans to participate in our God given right of hunting.
I'm gettin off my soap box now
