Here is a radical thought, regarding the fee increase for resident senior fishing licenses, it should probably be double what it is for non-seniors.
The reason is that seniors have all the time to fish and put much greater pressure on the resources.
BTW, I am a senior and probably fish 4X as much as I did before I retired.
Regarding resident hunting fees going up 50%, put it in perspective. A $20 increase in an elk tag is a nit with regard to what most of us sportsmen whiz away on all of the other costs of a hunting trip. Consider all of the toys that we need for an elk hunt. Many of which need to be replenished each year.
Now if they actually do implement a $20 application fee, that would be extremely detrimental to CPW. If everyone said screw it and waited for the Leftover draw, it would totally screw up the draw process for the state and possibly reduce revenues significantly.
