New Discover Pass law is WORSE for Hunters.

[follow maggie]

My brother just got a job in Nevada. Guess where I'll be hunting next year?  There's also good elk hunting in Oregon.  The cost of a season in Washington is starting to approach the cost of going someplace with better opportunities.  I can't even afford gas for my truck and the queen wants at least $50 more from me before I even leave the driveway.  I've been thinking of leaving Washington, the decision is getting easier.

The way I figure it I'm 27 been hunting hard for 10 years and only been stopped by a game warden once.I figure my odds are pretty good and even if I do get the $200 ticket I am money ahead.  Gregoire

Only one way you are gonna get the Bureaucrats to stand up and take notice is for 60% of us to not purchase a hunting lic, fishing lic, rip-off pass, dump pass or any of this other nonsense they have been trying to shove up our back side.  If we all stayed home for one year, it would make’em squeal.
It’s all about the $$.  When times are tough, we have to tighten our belts.  The state depts.?  Norfolk N’ Way!!!!  They just find a new tax or fee to make up the difference.  Doing with less is not in the realm of possibility.
They squander most of what they get anyway.  Like fake guns for hunter ed classes, what a freakin waste.  Don’t care what tax supplied the dollars, it’s still an unwarranted waste.
We are like the frog in the pot of water, if you turn up the heat slowly you can cook it to death before it even knows it’s happened.  We as tax payers are in the same pot of water and our legislator have a firm grip on the heat control.  Probably gonna happen anyway, WA is just a northern division of Calif.  If I was 20 yrs younger, I'd get out of this forsaken state.

JJD, Have you ever lived in California?  or any other state? 

I have, and I can tell you that its few and far between that elk and deer tags are OTC, and are this cheap...unless you live East of the Mississippi river, Washington is one of the cheapest states to hunt in.  Do I like the discover pass?, no, but it is still optional!
