gzilla45 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'd put Wisconsin on the top of that list but I see it is only for western states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 California would be the most obvious choice, but it isn't on there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterbobb Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 My vote would be for Wisconsin too. Just another case of the government limiting our freedom. We can't even vote for the state we want too. LOL :gun2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 From what I've heard, Wisconsin and PA are up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Of those choices I picked Oregon, only because of what I have read. Oregon had the highest percentage of votes. No doubt if California was an option it would get most if not all the votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I do not have enough any experience hunting in those states or any information to form a opinion. I pass on voting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I dont live in any of those states so I cant comment on their game management but I cant say that I have heard anything negative about any western states game management so that being said Id say.......WISCONSIN:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJL Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Not really tough here........ Just look for the states with the most dope smoking- tree hugging- granola munching freaks in their general population and you'll find the same in the legislation. OR-ID-WA-UT-CO Colorado would have been higher, but, we still have a pretty good population of Christians............right is right. Too bad most of the people in the DOW are a bunch of flunkies from Michigan......................that's why we manage our own resources. Denver can kiss our butts.

stevebeilgard Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 most states wildlife agencies have to pay their own way. so, they sell lots of licenses even when game isn't plentiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbly_Alaska Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 most states wildlife agencies have to pay their own way. so, they sell lots of licenses even when game isn't plentiful. equal opportunity.. is still in play here.. just because game is not abundant... who would pick WHO got a license? the harvest should then be limited to draw permits of equal opportunity for all hunters and give local resident hunters priority.

bbgatech Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Resident... 30 something bucks for a tag. Nonresident... 500 something for a tag. Now check the differance for any other tag a person might want in a state without the Rockies and Elk or Mule deer. The western states make so much money off nonresident tags. Also I've heard so many stories of Game Wardens trailing you on hunts trying to bust you for some infraction. I'm sure some don't have a problem with none of this but this is where I don't think its right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some don't have a problem with none of this but this is where I don't think its right. I pay around 200 resident and its every bit of 800 for non resident. Also, why is it a problem if a game warden is watching people hunt throughout the day and making sure they dont break the laws? It would be pretty crappy if you got paid at your job but didnt perform at your duty. I can understand how it would be wrong if the game warden was 100 yards behind you driving in his truck while you are on foot stalking for the entire day, but I seriously doubt that happens. If anything he is glassing you from a distance to not disturb your hunt. Dont break the law and hunting regs and it shouldnt matter or effect you one bit to have a game warden watch you hunt.

I totally agree that they should watch over but I had a warden in Colorado track me to my stand while I was watching some elk cows graze. He shouldn't have done that. I only had a bull tag so it didn't matter to much that the game was spooked but it didn't sit well with me afterwords with what happened. I've been checked alot over the years and have a great amount of respect for what wardens have to put up with and deal with. In this disscusion we also have to note the differance in warden and DNR/state. Here in Ga. hunter's pay out through license fees and we still lose land through cuts. Also wardens have to pick alot of the expenditure up being funded with hardly any money. Edited March 17, 2010 by bbgatech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
