Do you need a fishing license to go swimming? More money into the system will not help hunters. It will only result in more restrictions, more convoluted and hard to comprehend game laws, and more officers to enforce them.


Swimming does not require money for things like management and care of roads, etc. I don't think everyone paying the same will create more restrictions, etc. It would probably mean less people using the property which would mean less need for more enforcement and less damage to roads, etc. I don't know what's complicated by everyone paying the same and carrying their own weight.
