Car vs deer accidents

[newB]

Kind of agree that $ are running the hunting. With most states coffers going broke (see Illinois) states are trying to make departments self reliant so they have to charge higher licenses and throw in some new funding fee(s).

In WI when they first started the Chronic Wasting Disease deer management program they offered FOR FREE a certain # of tags to land owners and if the land owner wanted to they could let friends and family hunt for nothing. No out of state license was needed. I took full advantage of the opportunity and helped reduce the herd. 2 years ago they decided that anyone hunting in WI needed a license, for none res. is $160 dollars. As a matter of fact I received a letter thanking me for hunting in WI but because of the need for DNR funds they would need to charge for all hunters.

Certainly has made me think twice about HELPING control the deer population.

The worst part about higher $ is they are getting the same $ as in the past but are drastically cutting staff as well.

I've certainly been lucky to be able to hunt and fish in many places but if DNR's want our help make it worth our while.

For now,


God created, we manage.
