You think the spelling is bad you should see me do my taxes [
]!!!!
Davetclown has hit a few of the problems on the head , but the main reason is because the D.N.R. dosen't comprehend WHY there are less hunters and fishermen .
We didn't write the Guides , regulations , and laws , the D.N.R. did that . They made it so complicated that the average person can not understand ALL the rules and regulations that go with each sport . Fear of getting a ticket is the first thing that comes into a persons mind when they see a D.N.R. C.O. that is why people opt out of hunting and fishing , fines aren't cheep !
Why should people fear the C.O. ? There should be no reason for this unless the person is purposly doing something illeagle . The curent regulations we have in place do not afford us the peace of mind that we are 100% completely legal in our quest to enjoy the great outdoors , thus , less participants in outdoor activitys .
The D.N.R. has advised me not to hunt coyote using a small game license even though it is listed as a species I can take under the small game license , why ? There are other laws in place to be concidered , read the entire collection of hunting guides .
Trout streams , do they each need special restrictions ? If you say yes , then why dosent the D.N.R. post signs on the rivers alerting the anglers where these areas are ? If you want to carry a G.P.S. , a platt book (of every county ) , a range finder , the fishing guide , the trout handbook , a map , surveying equipment and a library of compiled D.N.R. laws stuffed somewhere in your waders , be my guest .
As for me , I will press for more deregulation of the laws that have become too complex . I am not the only person that feels this way , did you read the articals in the Woods and Water News , The U.P. Press , and some of the other reginal news papers and on-line fishing / hunting sites ?
Anyway , welcome to the B.F.T. boards I would be interested in reading more of your views on why uniform laws should not be put in place .
