TATAat27 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 Its does seem like everything went up for no apparent reason. I'm all for the game and fish people getting paid a fair wage and the money going to support the many things they do, but what are they gonna do different this year that is so expensive compared to other years?

Diamondbackaz Report post Posted December 13, 2006 Don't bother me none, as far as I'm concerned, they can raise it to $1,000. I have never been a fan of people profiting off our wildlife resources, especially on public lands. Hunters should go out and find their own animal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Report post Posted December 15, 2006 Why raise it? Are you kidding? That is what the public demanded at all the G&F meetings! It was at the point where everyone was out to get USO! They, the public, were throwing out all kinds of crazy ideas on how they could hurt or get back at USO. All the ones that included any kind of price raise the G&F jumped on because that is what they wanted or neaded. If the G&F just threw out a bunch of price raises then the public would stone them! But if they could sneek it in and put all the blame on USO then they could get away with it. They took the public's anger and ran with it! Sitting in those meetings at that period was like watching a lynch mob preparing for a hanging. You could yell out any hateful idea and they would cheer it on, not realizing they were cutting their own throat. Sorry you have never been a fan Diamondbackaz. Just some thoughts on the subject There are dozens of guides that use this site and are top notch great people! Some of the best! I'm sure they have helped you out a time or two. In fact if you have ever read or learned anything on this site then you could go as far as to say that you aren't finding your "own" animal. Aren't we all profiting from this site in some way? What do we think this great site is about? If they raised it to a 1,000. then wouldn't they be profiting off of our wildlife resources also. I meen, how far do you want to take it? It could go on and on.... Most guides I know just enjoy helping and would do it for free if they could. In fact they do it for free so much that it starts to take a toll on there family budjet. So it's nice to be able to do what you love and help others while helping pay the bills at the same time. Don't mock an honest working man. Any and every buseness out there takes advantage of something. Have you ever bought a hot dog? Well why didn't you go shoot your own hot dog? Why not rip on the plumbers of the world and say that thoes suckers are taking advantage of the fact that every poor person out there has to take a dump? Because it is as rediculious as talking down guides and the people who use them thats why! Just take it easy, to each his own and have a verry marry CHRISTmas!
