I don’t see what the problem is with the current law either. There is no maximum on how many days you can hunt upland. All this bill would do is reduce license sales and revenue. If you’re able to spend more than 14 days hunting in ND and can afford to be away from your home and job that long I highly doubt having to buy another license is a major obstacle.
Grrrrr reminds me of on my way back from an elk hunt my friend and I stopped for a couple hours at our favorite prairie dog town. Out in the middle of it was two vehicles and a big 5th wheel. On public land and this young rancher shows up and they are his client. When he found out we had been elk hunting he proceeds to tell us about the six big bulls he has shot with deptedation permits. Left a real bad taste for a long time.
To maintain revenue, the cost of a license would have to go up. Would we be pricing out the guy who wants to bring a couple of kids from out of state to hunt here, in favor of people who have the time and money to spend weeks or even months here?
I had heard rumor that the department was going to introduce a bill to increase licenses across the board.. has any one saw anything on that yet?
Id be all in for n.r license increase. It wont hurt the guys that hunt up hear annually. Why not? So those guys get acess with there money. So look at states like wyoming uped there big game fees 2 fold 1100 dollars for deer and elk. Why does nd have to be the economy tag?
