GUYS!

since many of you have not read either the Original bill 207, or the recently posted revisions to it that ZYG has provided, i will spell out the main difference.

the original SB 207 reduces the freshwater fishing license to 24$ (a 20% increase instead of 100%) this is a good thing.

BUT......

in the next line, the original bill also RAISES the saltwater license to 30$ to offset the money. these bastards take a good thing and still try to screw us, and by the way a week or so ago, capitol hill VOTED to include the saltwater line in bill 207. if this is passed, you essentially pay EVEN MORE THAN NOW!!!

24 for fresh, 30 for salt= 54 bux as opposed to 50$ as it is now....

this state is determined to screw you senseless and enough is enough. in lieu of a rally, we need to attend both the CTSportsmans Day, on 3/17, as well as this monday 3/8 hearing to propose the revisions to this bill.

thanks!

O'

I bet this is a trick to get everybody to rush out now and purchase and save themselves 4 dollars. F them.

awesome!!!!

I ended up buying both licenses today - It doesn't feel right. I was planning on not buying any license this year and going "rebel", but I am trying to stay out of trouble these days..

Thats because too many of the politicians are listening to HSUS. https://secure.humanesociety.org/site/Ad...38sy5t2.app303a

If the link above does not work here is the text.

There are several untrue facts here as I am sure I do not need to tell most of you.

Connecticut: Oppose a Reduction in Hunting License Fees
Hunting license fees are needed to help fund law enforcement and crack down on illegal hunting of wildlife. Legislation has been introduced in Connecticut (S.B. 115/S.B. 82 & H.B. 5038/H.B. 5080) that would reduce recent increases in hunting fees.

This legislation would leave the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection strapped for crucial funding. The Department is charged with the important task of protecting Connecticut's wildlife and enforcing hunting regulations, but with incoming license fees slashed, the department’s enforcement abilities will be severely compromised.
