Not really but if you're going to dig your heels in and push reason aside then so be it.

No I'll will. It's just frustrating watching state agencies blatantly try to manipulate the system. Not much different than someone working for cash and collecting welfare benefits.

I don't think anyone believes this is a good idea, and I live here. Every year I purchase a small game combo fishing license with two duck stamps and rarely use any of it. I chafe at the idea of it being required. I feel this habitat stamp is a scam. They don't charge the hikers or the trail bike crowd this nonsense. Application fee is like the processing fee the car dealers charge and its all leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Hunters are being taking advantage of so you just don't go, and then you won't "need" those nasty firearms. Its all part of a long term game by the left and they are winning.

Wow. Is it hard to find a blaze orange hat that fits over your tinfoil?

I'm looking for a hat that holds 15 round mags as anything over that is evil.

I don't blame any state for doing anything that betters their ability to improve their fish and game management programs, nor do I feel like I am being screwed, or cheated, or anything else. I do find it mildly annoying that a state has the unfettered ability to charge whatever they wish to hunt public lands that my tax dollars pay for, and that I own....but that's hardly a poke at Colorado.

My only emotion is a little bit of sadness in the realization that my chances of hunting out West in any meaningful way keep getting smaller and smaller.

There should be a period(.), between 'hunt' and 'public land', they are 2 separate sentences. The unfettered fees are the same, public OR private. And yes, your taxes pay for public land. And you are free to use them. But the public lands hold animals that your taxes DON'T pay for, so unless you pays your license monies, and jump thru the hoops, you can't 'hunt' on that public ground.

I know the argument....and even though I largely disagree with it, it has been decided long ago. Tilting at windmills and such...

For folks like you, we have a special extra license fee. The proceeds go to the National Proctological Association to fund the search for The Cure.

Residenrs can buy a special license plate with brown trim to fund the search for The Cure.

PS, you used to list "Colorado" as your location, why the need for a NR license?

The risk to that idea--and it's a very real risk--is that those non-hunters, including anti-hunters, will have a bigger say in how wildlife is managed. Think changing hunting seasons to accommodate other activities, and think about predator hunting.

The biggest and best argument we have as hunters is we pay our own way. No other activities--especially on public lands--can say that.

Not to jump the thread, but a quick note; For me the monies we all spend in tag and licensing fees that go towards “whatever game and management” means to dept of fish and game. We pay it...Alas, only to be regulated through the courts by individuals and non-profit start up organizations that throw some of their morality-science into an argument, that a certain animal shouldn’t be hunted or hunted in a way that was used properly in the past allowing for better management of an game animals head count. Thinking, bear, cougs, wolves, insert animal and location of your choosing or type of hunt that has since been changed through the courts by people who have never paid for these animals through fees hunters and sportman have for a few generations. Think liberal soccer mom and dads with trek poles and day packs. Apologies for hijack 😎

Side benefit of Liberal state hunting policies: coyotes and mountain lions NOW come to hunt in the cities and suburbs that are anti-hunter friendly. Keep an eye on your kids and pets, Lib geniuses.


Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Considering Colorado has gone demrat I would like to see a real accounting of the money we pay in licenses and what it accomplishes. There is zero wildlife management on much of Co's public land so is this bigger pot of money going to fund a wolf introduction program? Or the DNC propaganda fund?
