[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jun-30-06 AT 10:09AM (EST)[/font][p]Nobody has ever questioned you points about the resources. Nobody has ever said that you didn't make valid points. I don't see how the points you made pertain to just tourney fisherman, they cover all fisherman. If the DNR is going to raise licenses across the board to cover management fees, stocking fees, or improvements you wouldn't hear me say a word about it. I know that they are trying to become self supporting and I have a pretty good hunch that they are underfunded. Where the controversy started is when you said that they were charging more in the tourneys to cover the costs for ALL fisherman. That is what I had a problem with. If they are doing things that benefits the resource as a whole then they should charge all the fisherman. If the tourneys cause extra fees then charge the tourney fisherman for just those extra fees. I'm fine with that. I am completely against charging one group more money to benefit all the groups. It does happen but it doesn't make it right.
