The one or ones that made that decision is the only place you will get an answer for that.

Yes, I know what "multi season" is but that still doesnt hold water on that big of percentage increase. Its percentages of a starting point Greg. Its not like the DNR suddenly realized its a "multi season license" So why do think there was such a large increase in the NR Bundle? I have no idea... Why dont you ask them?

Don't forget about the "simplification" of the license structure that will be keeping crossbows on a separate license for "data collection" purposes. LOL... The "good old boy" network is alive and well. Crossbow hunters (handicapped since the mid 1980s) and regular crossbow hunters (in the late archery season since the mid 1990s to 2011) were under an Archery License. 9 years of being under a crossbow license and they still want "data"? Right...

First of all. I am thankful for my Lifetime License. Second. You think a NR tag is high here. You should look into a Colorado bull tag. And the one I brought back home unfilled will be tough in tag soup.

And the one I brought back home unfilled will be tough in tag soup. I would agree 100 percent I don’t think the tags are bad be it OH KY IN I know people who spend that every month on TV net cable phones a concert honestly take your wife or your girlfriend out to a nice restaurant and order a decent meal you will drop a 100 bucks easy Remember I’m not taking Taco Bell go to a race colts game 100 bucks a ticket is not out of the question Honestly guys drop more than that on a pair of hunting pants or a shirt As said buy points for out west last I looked MT was 700 for a deer tag I don’t like paying more either but for as much as I hunt it’s cheep now the guys who hunt 3 or 4 days may drop out.. IDK but I think it’s long overdue I think they would of better off to raise it 5 or 10 buck ten times instead of a one time raise. Myself I’ll keep buying tags and hunting think about this I just paid I believe about 220 bucks for a half a pig around 70 lbs of meat or I can pay 100 and get about 70 lbs of deer meat for a nice size deer and I got to hunt still cheep if you ask me

In 1978 we had a bit of a blizzard here in west central Indiana that devastated the quail population. Since then, with the addition of habitat loss quail hunting here has become non existent. The State of Indiana never did squat to assist with any restoration of the quail habitat here, or to assist in any way with habitat development anywhere around here. We lost our entire culture of quail hunting here. Nothing from the DNR.. Now they want to raise the fees we have to pay to hunt deer and turkey. I don't believe for a second that we'll see a single penny of that money returned to west central Indiana by the State of Indiana. They take but never return a darn thing.

This is exactly my thoughts on the matter as well. Indiana raises license fees, truck plate fees, trailer plate fees, boating fees, and all the other fees as well as taxes. What do we see in return? Again, I’m not saying I don’t believe we should’ve raised it somewhat - but to almost double it in one single year is a little bit excessive in my opinion. I also feel like it’s more about revenue for the state then it is for what they claim about habitat restoration, helping landowners with this and that and etc.

(From link on page 1) These increases will allow the Division of Fish & Wildlife (DFW) and the Division of Law Enforcement (DLE) to: Conduct fish and wildlife research. Restore habitats. Maintain Fish & Wildlife areas and public access sites. Provide technical assistance to private landowners. Educate new hunters and anglers. Protect and serve the public.

I understand your frustration but the state can’t fund everything everyone wants just not enough money for it. Sometimes we as hunters fisherman have to step up and do it ourselves with groups like DU NWTF I’m not all big on them but a local chapter with like minded people can go a long ways The problem is as you said try getting someone to give up ground that they area not going to get a income from is a tough road

I could of made a lot more and worked a lot less just cash renting but I’d do it again tomorrow

That is because they are too busy restoring nuisance animals like the river otter that gets in peoples ponds and kills all their fish and then the bobcats that kill all the rabbits, turkeys and fawns. Why would they want to reintroduce the quail or grouse.

IDNR did not reintroduce bobcats. They get blamed for way more than they do. The biggest threat to turkey is the nest robbers that trapping no longer keeps under control. Rabbits biggest enemy it habitat loss and domestic/feral cats.

Tracking collars are placed on wild animals all the time for tracking and study purposes.
