"New Application Fee"

[Michelle_Nelson]

I thought it was $200 if you mail it in $250 if you go in to pick it up?  If not what was the $200 thing for?  I just glanced over the letter.
 
You know when I first bought my license in 2007 it was $180.  So 4 years later in 2011 I would expect them to make an increase some time.  Considering they raised the prices on hunting licenses.  Though $70 does sound a little extreme.  Maybe they don't plan on any increases on ther for 4 more years.
 
I will just take it in the ass like all the other WA taxidermists.     
 
I think it use to be $150 or $180 for 3 years in GA.  That was 5 years ago.  Not sure if it has gone up or not.  Sure it has.

Reading the letter it looks like an increase of 20 dollars if you pay by 1 September at which time the license will increase to 250.
I don't have a problem with a 20 dollar increase but how about a little heads up...... I wish there was a newsletter addressing current issues like CWD/ Tagging and sealing / and license increases
I don't think that's unreasonable given the 200$ we give them every year.

Half a brain, Im thinking at leat a  1/16th of a brain would be nice  Pretty sure no thought goes into much of what they do. Well, OK, maybee a tiny bit

This is how the dumbacrats treat small business,and our game department is liberal dumbacrat.they do what they want ,instead of what they should do. I give them less of my money every year because of there poor decision making.next year i plan on hunting out of state and giving them none.im fed up.

Well guys I truly guess I am the outsider on this issue. They raise the prices for our customers to hunt, the taxidermy supply companies raise their prices, most taxidermists will then raise their prices back to the customer to fulfill that void. But yet we are going to bitch because they raised the prices of our license 70.00?? That is about 5.83 cents a month. Are we one of the highest states for taxidermy license ( YES) Can you go back to a lot of the southern/ Eastern states and tell them you are going to charge them 550 + to do a deer shoulder mount - NO. So I think the 5.83 cents is worth it. They gave us approx 45 days to let us know there will be an increase in fees. I am content.

Go ahead blast away, it's ok.

Smile it is a short life we live, enjoy all the things you can and quit worrying about the crap you can't, cause as much as we all will bitch about not one of us will pick up the phone or write a letter and tell them that we are not happy.

yep outsider

[Michelle_Nelson]

LOL BLKEARKLR,  I wasn't complaining about the increase.  I was giving all the others crap, lol. 
 
Complaining just makes you feel like you've voiced your opinion.  I hope you guys feel better.  Now bend over and take where F&G wants to put it.  Cuz yall are just going to end up paying it anyway. 

[bucklucky]

I was told it was just the beggining of increases, next year it is supposed to double 

[Smithandsonstaxidermy]

That was spoken just as it will be.Sorry if i am crying to much,its just that my butt is still hurting from the discovery pass i just had to buy,if i wanted to keep hunting the area ive hunted for years.

[FSTaxidermy]

Yup, gonna have to pass it on $ or shut the doors   we all get to do more with less, the future direction.  Simplier lifestyle is on the come back, lots of good to be had :! and as forest said....."thats about all I have to say about that".
