Proud or Ashamed

Beat the horse dead subject, but then I go and pay for the dang thing.

You might as well be proud as crappy as it is....your not breakin the law and risking a ticket by not having it

[jackelope]

I'm not proud to buy it but I'm definitely not ashamed either so I voted proud.

[boneaddict]

Essentially why I did it.   I wasn't setting a very good example for my kids.

I think you should add "indifferent" to your poll.  I definetely wouldn't be "proud", maybe kinda sleezy

[gaddy]

BOO HISS BOO HISS you caved.
on the otherhand think of all the good you did for the state parks. & if you use the areas that require it then its cheeper than a ticket.

[jackelope]

I get enough use out of state parks every summer to justify it. Heck its $10 to hit pearrygin lake state park or the like just for the day. Also saves you $10 a day at the sno-park if you take kids sledding.

[boneaddict]

I do use some and I got tired of looking over my shoulder and wondering if my WDFW permit was ok or not.

-meh, shrugs- Proud I guess? I definitely saved by having it, all the hiking areas I've been to require it and they have people on-watch in the lots for anyone missing it. It's DEFINITELY cheaper than paying the $10/day use fee.

I'm now debating on getting the national forest pass though

The only way I would buy one is if they make it a requirement to camp in a state park.

oh man, I am so disappointed you caved. You were supposed to stay strong. All kidding aside my parents always told me to pick your battles. This is one that I never really thought was as important as many others.

I bought one last year because we now live in an area where I feel it has some value.  Prior to that I refused.  I never went anywhere it was required without it.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winning answer right here.  I see no point in being defiant and costing yourself 3 times what it would cost to buy the pass but I sure ain't proud of having to pay a fee to use public land that I should be able to use without paying such fee.  My time fighting a ticket is worth more than the cost of the pass.  I guess all we can do is the little bit we can by making people aware of the issue and sending worthless e-mails to legislators.

I voted proud... following the law sets a good example to the younger generation and the non-hunters

This falls into the category of things my dad once told me I'd have to do as an adult that would piss me off, but I'd have to do it anyways.
