Antmo23 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 They just need some extra cash to buy those $40,000 new trucks every year for all their wardens. And remember they have to make up that 1 million they wasted last year and the thousands they spend on the commissioner to drive all over the western US. Pieces of trash. . Lol, no no, don't hold back, tell us what you REALLY think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted February 11, 2014 I don't need a tag in my pocket to spend time with my kids around a campfire. I can do that anytime I want to. Don't forget the $100,000 they gave to an officer because he gave his tag to another person and got his feelings hurt when they questioned him. Oh, and who knows how much it cost to hand feed the Lions on Pusch Ridge. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willyhunts2 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 No game and fish equals no animals. You wouldn't be able to hunt anymore. You and then the next guy might be honest sportsman but the fact is plenty are not. As the price of everything in life goes up why wouldn't app fees go up to? If that's the case why are we still not buying 5 cent cheese burgers at McDonald's? Love them or hate them it can get spendy especially if your one of these dudes that draw elk every year, but the app fees arnt outrageous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azslim Report post Posted February 11, 2014 my only issue is they are funding "all" wildlife studies and programs off the backs of hunters and fisher-folk, so all the anti-hunters, hikers, photo takers, etc that enjoy the diversity of Az animals and outdoors are doing it as a result of us hunters reaching into our pockets. I know there is nothing we or G&F can do about it, just gives me something to whine about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcdinaz Report post Posted February 11, 2014 On the flip side I don't mind that much. A movie is $8 now and most of them suck, I know hunting is always a home run. Not commenting on the G&F spending it the correct way, any bureaucracy finds ways to waste money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted February 11, 2014 I was hoping with all the additional $ they would cut back on some tags.....not increase them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcdinaz Report post Posted February 11, 2014 That is what I want to see.... Something less tags, fork or better, close a few units every few years, kill lions, something! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wdenike Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Are we going to really start picking on these efficient, contentious, polite, caring, government employees. That consistently are working hard for the tax payers, and doing the will of the people by serving???? Wonder how long before they high fence the national forests, and turn it into a big lease operation. That would really be beneficial to grass roots Americans and there children to insure the sport stays alive. Take care, Willie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MathewQuigly Report post Posted February 11, 2014 The fees keep going up but the chance to go and the amount of game to hunt gets worse, just my opinion 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
