I can realy empathise with you here on this one. [/size][/font]
[font "Monotype Corsiva"][size 4] The changes in the rules have paramounted since the day of the sportsman (when in Michigan we had the Sportsman's License that could be purchased for $28 and it covered every game in the state, in the water and on land or up a tree except for the federal migratory stamps for duck and goose.)[/size][/font]
[font "Monotype Corsiva"][size 4] Then we had two books one for fishing and one for hunting. Now we have three books just for fishing one for just trout one for all the rest of the fish and one for toxic fish reports.[/size][/font]
[font "Monotype Corsiva"][size 4] Our fishing guid then was about an 8 page phamplet that could be read in the time you sat in the barber's chair. Today it is a thirty page novel that needs to be offered as a colage course to understand. (a fish has to be at least this size and no biger than this size and if it is caught so many feet of a certain structure it has to be released.) This is not to mention the other two books that are any where form 30 - 50 pages.[/size][/font]
[font "Monotype Corsiva"][size 4] The rules change so offten that by the time the rule books are published and released they have changed.[/size][/font]
[font "Monotype Corsiva"][size 4] To make matters worse the water was are held hostage by corprate because the concider them to be their privet toilet rooms where they can flush down any unwanted chemical in to our water supply. There fore contamination advisories are never truly accurate or up to date do to the fact that the DNR's hands are tied when it comes to prosicuting corprate dumping in cities and townships, by the same city and township that they are being dumped in.[/size][/font]
[font "Monotype Corsiva"][size 4] But for the most part I respect the rules and regulations provided by our Department of Natural Resorces do to the fact that they are trying their best to accomidate sportsmen and still allow for the critters to live in the vastly encroching human population explosion.[/size][/font]
