[QUOTE="drivenmarine.net, post: 232212, member: 971"] I agree with your statement. Residents do indeed get a pretty good value for what we pay in licence fees. I just think it would be much easier to get them to raise the NR fees as opposed to having residents freak out about paying $10 more for licences. Montana figured it out a few years ago. They raised the prices crazy high. They were not selling out of licences the first few years, but as non-residents began to get used to the cost, they started selling more. Now they are selling out, and in some cases are hard to draw. The loss of CRP has been horrible for wildlife, and conservation organizations like RMEF and Pheasants Forever can only do so much. There are habitat projects and boat ramp access area that could really use some improvements. I wasn't trying to ruffle any non-resident member's feathers, just thinking revenue=habitat. Sorry.
