Since the recruitment of hunters is not going well enough what would you guys think about increasing the cost of a license? Of course it wouldn't effect lifetime license holders. It would really help our DNR.,

Pay to play. 100 percent in favor. We are drastically cheaper than most states.

Pay to play ---- well I don't have a problem with that if it goes towards all who play. So before increasing license fees - how about we start making mountain bikers, horseback riders, bird watchers, kayakers, geo-cachers or whatever other people who use are WMA areas pay to play? I was all in favor for a State Park parking fee as well. The other year - we went to meet up with some friends to hike a Maryland State park. It cost $28 for my wife, daughters and myself to hike thru the park! I think that is a bit much - I wanted to leave but the others wanted to stay. So lets address that issue and then move on to license increases after that.
