It is way past time to treat these pay-to-play companies as any other recreation business.
Same property tax
Same disabled access rules.
Same health regulations.
Same sales tax.
Same lodging tax
For some reason these companies believe they are exempt from all this.
maybe if they played by the same rules as other businesses they would re-think this whole idea. As it is now, the fees are just gravy on top of timberland. If anyone else charged the public to access their land for any purpose, at a MINIMUM they would have to pay all taxes, and provide a wheelchair access and a porta-potty.

As long as they keep paying off both sides of the aisle with campaign contributions and hunters keep buying their permits, they'll keep giving it to us in the rear end. I see no end in sight without some extreme measures taken. It needs groundswell and we need to start posting the amounts of contributions to those politicians who won't do anything about it.

And according to the Weyerhaeuser employee that I see weekly, and is aware of the process, says the number of permits and cost will be the same as 2016.
Not great, but worth the money. At least in my opinion,
Although they could add a couple more security guys to assist with some of the guys who think they can do anything they want since they paid.

No company in their right mind would announce a fee increase until AFTER the legislative session (March?)Not sure what a few increase on Weyco land has to do with the leg session. :dunno:
