GOAL Not Supporting Fish & Wildlife Fee Increases Until Serious Issues are Addressed

[AHM]

When were the glaciers again? 1,000 years ago?
Hmmmmm.

Dare you to spell "Wisconsonian".

Or was it 18,000? Hmmmmm.

It's not like a putative succession of tree species has to be on a glacial timescale.
It's just that the glaciers pressed Reset around here.

I might do exactly this! Great idea. To which agency or individual does one make this request? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Directly to The Director of Fish and Wildlife.

Nor do surfcasters care about 10+ rounds in a rifle. But, both types of sportsmen should be helping one another.

My point above was that the plurality of gun owners in this state aren't buying them for sporting purposes unless you consider defensive use sporting which I could buy into in the right cases lmao.

Administration – Director Mark Tisa will be conducting an additional listening session related to the previously reported proposed license fee increase on March 25th, at 6:30pm. Information about participating in the information session, including details of the proposed license fee increase and how you can leave feedback on the proposal can be found on the MassWildlife website here: mass.gov/masswildlife-funding

Fwd: Proposed MassWildlife Fees Revised

Hello, The Mass Conservation Alliance continues working, as a collaboration of Sportsman’s County Leagues and groups to affect positive changes in the fee structures proposed by MassWildlife. United we stand, and this is another indication that we are successful in this approach. Many clubs...

MassWildlife’s license fee increase approved

For the first time since 1996, MassWildlife has increased fees to hunting, freshwater fishing, and trapping licenses. These changes will go into effect beginning in the 2022 calendar year, with many increases phased in over 5 years.

I hope they lose license sales, And with that, they also lose Pittman-Robinson Money.

Again. Hard to say no to NO increases for 25 years.

Best is people in NH that are squalking about this. Current MA fishing lic - $22.50. Going to $40 over 5 years. NH - $45. In fact, I believe the CURRENT fees are the lowest in New England. (Assuming no changes they might be the highest by 2026, or just under NH's current fees.)

I'll hunt and fish NH before buying a MA license again.
