LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Hunting and fishing in Michigan might cost people more money soon.
The Department of Natural Resources is asking lawmakers to be allowed to charge more for hunting, fishing, and boating license fees.
Spokesman Ed Golder says they have not raised hunting and fishing license fees for a decade, and boat registrations have not increased in 32 years.
He says they want to raise license fees by 33-percent for a combined hunting and fishing license, and 35-percent for hunting.
So the dnr does less and less, hunters and fisherman are less and less each year and they want more.
Why praise our rates because all you’re doing is putting money into bike trails you’re not doing nothing for the hunters or fishermen especially in West Michigan Central so do not raise our rates we need to bring back baiting for deer for a lot of us to bring a lot of money back into the economy very dumb.
B*******
If licensing is rased I will not be hunting
I have 80 acres in isabella county that I did not see 5 deer all season. I put 600 dollars in food ots every year.im not paying more money to not see deer I have my property for sale.deer season is shit any more.
Just what people need another increase in government fees. Government complains about too many deer then wants to raise the cost of permission to hunt them so they can deter more people from hunting because they can’t afford the licenses to exercise and unalienable liberty to feed themselves. The DNR did NOT create the animals that our creator put here for us to sustain life and do not have the right to charge fee’s or regulate that in which they did not create! The “legal” system is NOT law and it’s because people don’t research anything deep enough that the legal system has usurped our Law not to mention all of the alphabet soup agencies should have been dissolved in 1935 when the supreme court struck down Roosevelt’s new deal as unconstitutional. “Those who would give up an essential liberty for some false security deserve neither and will loose both” Benjamin Franklin
Raising prices right now would be the wrong time with tarriffs coming
Sounds like bullshit. Hunting license has went up a dollar for the last 32 yrs maybe. And everybody that buys a fishing license buys what used to be a trout stamp($14 more) Meanig the one’s who don’t even fish for salmon also have buy what used to be a trout stamp. Hasn’t went up in 32yrs = Bullshit. Make no mistake
