Free: Contests & Raffles.
So raffles, permit apps etc all go to the Wdfw? Thanks
Gotcha, thanks for that link. Prob wouldn’t be a drop in the bucket but seems like the Wdfw should get the revenue from seized property that is sold. Tough thing to understand why the shortage, it’s definetly not from too many officers in the field. I’d be willing to pay 10-20 dollars more if it doubled the amount of wildlife police in the field! Like someone said already, triple the poaching fees and make them stick!! Appoint procecutors that give a damn about fish n game.
casino money?

I’ve heard your a DNR employee bigtex, but wonder if you know this, how much money does the state take from the Wdfw to put in the general fund? Seems to me, if the Wdfw could use all the revenue they create, then they would have plenty of funds??Not a DNR employee.The state doesn't take WDFW money and put it into the general fund. They used to take fishing fees but that was long ago. 100% of license fees stay within WDFW.

Explain to the "Consultant" Idaho offers so much more to its people for less $. Why is that? Maybe they can start there and figure out how they need to improve? This isn't rocket science with fanatical solutions, its common sense. WDFW has lost many of hunters revenue for many reasons. Fix the problems, manage animals better etc. and watch the $ increase. Personally it feels hopeless to expect lib state to be smart.
