It's devolved into an AA style meeting...  Hi, I'm ___________, and it's been _____ years since my last Discovery Pass purchase.  It has really been tough on me and my family.  But I have managed to keep myself together with support from all of you.  I am trying real hard not to fall off the wagon.

Too funny. 

[jackelope]

I will buy it, only so I can wipe my bung hole with it later.

   haha   when I am on dnr land I don't have to have 1. must be the millions my co. spends with em every year   When my co. was and still is going through the tough economy, we cut heads and ran lean with what we could. The gov. should be no different.

What about when you are there for non-company related activities like hunting?

He's checking on equipment, or surveying a new logging site for bid.... If a logger can't come up with a reasonable story no one can... If you think that the same damn truck in the woods 6 days a week goes un noticed you'd be wrong....

   Good point

[Ripper]

I'm a firm believer in Karma and weather it suck's or not, you did the right thing. If nothing else you have the peace of mind that you won't get a ticket. I go out in the woods for peace and serenity, the last thing I want to do is stress about getting a ticket. I voted proud but the real answer would be relieved.

Having the Pass saved us a ticket this last weekend up at the North Fork Gravel Pit.
 We were just shooting a few rounds and there were four other vehicles then ours.

About an hour after getting there State GameWarden drove in and sat and watched
 And then got out walking up to us first.First words were "Isee you are shooting at paper targets and
 Not plastic,TVs, Electronics(The place is littered with junk) and then asks if we have aDiscovery Pass
 We said yes explained we did and then hung it. He explained a pass was needed because this was State land.
He then walked over to the other people and we seen him pointing around and then heard the people
 Clearly expressing their thoughts with lots of Cussing.Tickets for everyone with out a Pass and for shooting at the old electronics.

[boneaddict]

Thats almost exciting to me.  If you knew how many electronics and appliances I hauled to the dump last year with my efforts of cleaning up the LT.    Glad it worked out for you guys

[bobcat]

Arnbo, was he actually a game warden, or was he a DNR officer?

Just curious. Glad to hear the laws are being enforced and citations being written.

I had to buy one last year after trailering my boat and family to 25 Mile Creek, the use of the launch and parking required a day pass or for a few bucks more the Discover Pass. Had I refused and tried to explain to the family why it likely wouldn't have ended well for me.

Here's my experience with buying the pass. I have never used a state park, don't plan to but I was worried I might want to drive on state land during trapping season ( haven't yet). About a month after getting the pass I get license renewal on my PU and wouldn't you know it they make me buy a new plate so there goes my first license write in on the pass. No problem, there is another spot to write in a license number. Another month goes by and I get in a wreck. Get the PU fixed but the front license plate destroyed in the wreck so new plates.
Result I bought a $30 pass I can't use and evidently don't need anyway. I feel so much better knowing I helped keep the state parks running.
