We have also started requiring either a "Georgia Outdoor Recreational Pass" or a valid hunting license to use many public areas normally used by hunters. This forces the mountain bikers,day hikers etc. to help pay the costs. It is experimental in just a few areas now, but I expect it to be used in more places soon.
Thanks for posting that, it's a great idea.
Yes, I agree also, a high percentage of public lands in Wisconsin were purchased with hunting, trapping and fishing fees. Plus the Pittman-Robertson excise tax helps fund wildlife management.
The hikers, birders, tree huggers, wolf huggers, etc. need to put their money where there mouth is.
