It’s not about the damn fifteen dollars. It’s about the fact that our state has become so destitute for money that we tax our youth, disabled veterans and our elderly plus change the rules for lifetime license holders. How many of y’all have stopped to think that many of hunters don’t have the capability to scout where to hang stands, cut shooting lanes, climb a tree and hang lock ons. But can still manage to get in a shooting house on a green field. So towards the end of the season they ain’t seeing any deer and get frustrated with it. Decide to throw out some corn on the field to try and pull some deer in it. But yet has to pay a tax to be able to do so even though it’s completely legal. These elderly folks have already paid into the tax machine all of their lives but now that they are retired the government still needs more. How about a disabled veteran that is already sacrificed a body part for our country but we still need more. Ridiculous is what it is. I’ll gladly pay more so these folks don’t have to pay anything. After all haven’t they already paid enough?
A landowner should be exempt from having to buy a license to hunt by ANY legal means on his/her own property.
