Do we stop buying milk because it costs too much? If you dont buy a license out of spite due to license fees, you are petty. Believe me, I dont like the fee increases as much as the next guy but license fees will go up just as costs for everything go up. ...Sounds like life to me. I could not buy a license every year too as where I usually hunt is verly secluded. Trust me, the increase in fees isnt going to bring the state out of the hole, and they know it. As invasives become more prevelant, etc...things cost more to investigate and study and ultimately manage. I'd rather pay more for a license now than have the watters and lands filled with invasives and no fish or wilflife for the next generations.
