New COE Regs Red State Revenge?

Tom, I stand correctged. I didn't realize the new restrictions that went in place January 1st. I do remember that there were some hoops to jump through that were added in 2009. I thought that waqs what you were referring to, My mistake.

No Biggie, Things are changing fast now a days. But there does seem to be an extra effort put forth to make it inconvenient for people that enjoy hunting and fishing. We have a liberal administration in charge and it looks like they want to pander to their constituency. We'll just have to deal with it until it fails or is changed. Whatever comes first. At the rate it's going with the handouts it will turn out like social security and there will be more takers than givers. Then what's gonna happen? They already mentioned shutting down the fish hatchery at Wolf Creek dam about a year ago. My impression of what they are gonna do is make it too expensive to hunt and fish, just like in Europe.

I agree that you cannot trust anyone in office right now, but trying to close down Wolf Creek Hatchery was first brought up around 1995. I actually went down there and wrote a magazine article about it. I will see if I can find a copy of it and let you know the dates, but that was the first time I remember hearing about it.

I agree that hunting and fishing are more expensive, but I think hunters and anglers are making it more expensive.
