Sorry Hank, trout are raised in a hatchery at significant cost each. I just think a trout stamp would help offset hatchery operating cost vif the funds went directly into an account for the trout program.

I would also like to see opening day become a thing of the past,2/3 of the stocked trout for this put and take fishery are gone within weeks of opening day,not the greatest thing for a limited resource in my opinion.

Better for us to think creatively than to let the government think for us ,we all know how well that usually ends up for us.

i don't have any problem with raising license, tags, or stamp fees, as long as the money goes directly to fund the DEP, and NOT the general fund.

I know that this is a simple concept...but this is CT.

WTF is wrong with you??!?!?!? we dont need to increase revenue going to the gov! the f***ing gov. needs to cut useless and wasteful spending like all the money it gives away to lazy azz pieces of garbage that do nothing but sit on their azzes and talk on their cell phones while watching satelite tv in their aparments (all of which are paid for by us dummies that actually have enough pride to get a job). thats not enough free crap that the gov. wastes money on. we have to feed them at home, and feed their kids at school twice a day! so you say we're not paying enough to the gov? are you frikkin kidding me? you want to pay more to fish? you want to pay more to hunt? u want more fees? u want more stamps? U WANT MORE TAXES?????? i dont understand your way of thinking there is no hope for this nation. it is ruined. it will never be what it once was.

are you talking to me? if so, explain yourself

unfortunate Matt that you deal with such DICKS all the time that make your life hard.........

If you ever have the chance to talk to Officers Persico, Tavares,Ryan Healy or Ruggerio you would see how passionate they are abput their work, and that they'll spend some time talking fishing and hunting with yaas far as I'm concerned people that have something to hide find the authority to be assholes and make comments like yours...........I did have an encounter with Vroman one day which he coulda been quite a bit more professional.but in reality put yourself in his position,.6 guys with loaded shotguns in a field...Officer Williams showed up and everything panned out just fine.........he let me off the hook for forgetting to sign my stamp......he coulda ticketed me bigtime for that, FYI .........

I agree let the officers go back to being Game wardens..........its almost a free for all out there already.we cant afford to lose anymore........
