I was a manager once, I valued every persons input as to what could be improved, what our shortfalls were and what their opinions were that would make things better. The people doing the work always had the best answers on how to improve things and make everything more efficient, cost effective and in the end result, more profitable. These guys and gals out there doing our work protecting our resources ( the actual enforcement officers ) have opinions, and I would bet, some could have solutions if someone would listen. I think this is what we used to call production meetings. No idea is off the table, lets hash it over and see if it works.That's not the job of an enforcement officer anymore though. If you want to go into a wildlife profession where you will help draft seasons/limits/etc become a biologist. If you want to be a game warden then go into enforcement. The jobs don't cross paths like they used to. That's just how it is nowadays.

Think bigger.Huntwa is just one social media outlet. If Sportsman really were serious it would be pretty easy to spread the word and get people behind it.Take a year off, save the money and go out of state the next year. It would cripple WDFWIt'll probably never happen as all the corporate entity's wouldn't support it.

So, We are part of that 21% and 100% of the rest. So where does that put the % for the tree huggers at again? maybe 7%

All of my friends hunt/fish, we all like to complain about license fees but in the end we all pony up and pay it. I have yet to have a friend who didn't buy a license simply because of the price of the license, and no I don't have rich friends. But like WA1232 said, in the end it equates to less than a tank of gas for my truck. It costs more for me to fill my F150 with gas then the big game combo is, am I going to give up hunting because of something equivalent to 1 tank of gas? No.
no sir it is correct.Hunters and fishermen put in the general fund,we put in federal.we put in the bulk of the wdfw fund.the tree huggers don't put in a measurable amount at all at this time into the wdfw funding.so you must take away hunters and fishermans % that comes out of fed. and state taxes that get added in because we pay in all of them.thats why i said their 21% comes down to about 7% if you take out the hunt and fish funding from us that pay in all 3
how much do you really think comes from tree hugger's out of the P/R tax?

So are you saying their going to loose not only the license fees, but also the fuel tax revenue ? And the taxes paid on all other expenditures ?
Quote from: Oh Mah on July 18, 2018, 05:50:56 PMhow much do you really think comes from tree hugger's out of the P/R tax?Well it's certainly not 100% hunters that contribute to it!
