Just saw this come across in my email. Link should work.

There is a major issue taking place in Idaho right now in regards to wildlife management, and the voice of sportsmen should be heard.

If history is any indicator, a very small percentage of sportsmen will actually take action. I urge you to prove history wrong and stand up for hunting and fishing in Idaho. We have an opportunity right now, and if you care about the future of wildlife and wildlife management in Idaho, please take two minutes to add your voice to this issue:

Sounds like pretty small increase. It should fly thru.

Here in Co,they are asking for a100% increse in fees for big game tags. ie elk from $46to $90.

Unfortunately the entire CPW commission are all appointees by the governor,although there are some good folks on it . Any changes are submitted to the legislature

Name a western state, there are political battles being fought there today that will change the future of hunting. Inform yourself, express your opinions where they matter most, to legislators. Every person on this forum has rights, privileges and interests @ stake, so pull you head out...of the sand, and take a stand.

I support the CO resident fee increase, NRs have way too much influence on game management decisions here because of the huge difference in license $ contributed to the state budget.

Elkduds. ( off topic )The biggest influence on elk herds in Co is the AG business.They exert tremendous lobbying pressure. I think the only influence NR 's have is the CPW wants their money.

I support a fee increase, but not 100%

Good point. Last month it sounded like the price raise for residents was likely, now not this year?
