Will the hunting public PR team get em for free?

All jokes aside, I wish they would charge residents 100.00 as well if I knew the money would actually go to real conservation and not a Frisbee park in Atlanta or similar

 

[Dupree]

I support this, so long as the money will be used for something good. In addition to the extra money it will add, it will also give better data on how many people actually hunt turkeys in Georgia.

 

[B. White]

I’d prefer to decide how to spend my money. Politicians already got enough of it to work with.

 

[tr21]

the problem with this is not 1 dime will go to help wildlife in the end. it sounds great but in the end the money will be used to build a big nice park in downtown ATL to give the residents somewhere use and sell drugs and commit all sorts of other crimes. But they'll get us to support it by saying it will go only toward wildlife improvement !

I noticed when I renewed my license recently they now automatically include the hard card when you're checking out, you have to manually remove it if you don't want it. I suppose that was in response to many of us stating we would NOT be paying for the hard card since that money was apparently going to social media influencers like the hunting public ?

So now instead of leaving turkey in the "big game" category, they are proposing to charge extra if you want to hunt turkey ? lol, they're going to find a way to get more money one way or another aren't they ?

I've absolutely lost faith in the DNR to serve the best interests of hunters and fisherman in our state, they seem to be influenced by a variety of sources which are not hunters or fishermen, or outdoorsmen for that matter

Never agree to a tax or permit to exercise your rights

Thought Georgia already has a $11 billion surplus.

Now that modern vehicles are being made to alert you if you are not in the lane, it makes sense for them to give it to DOT to spend on rumble strips.

Some kid will get his doctorate doing another high dollar DNR study that will have zero impact on the wild turkey population.

Another tax. Much rather put my funds directly into habitat and private land management than pay more taxes that go to nothing and support “conservation groups” that see little to no results

The stamp for residents is voluntary.

You don't have to purchase one.

I am licensed in 3 states.

I kick myself in the rear every time I renew my license. I should have bought NC and FL lifetime licenses when I lived there and GA years ago. At my age a GA lifetime would be kind of a wash, though I guess it would protect me from future price increases.

I do buy a NC fishing license and trout stamp every year (family there) and used to buy a SC every year as well but don't really have any reason to do so anymore.

It adds up.

If only I had dropped 3 Benjies when I lived in Alabama in the 1990's.

Kemp always saves that for government workers and poor underpaid teachers. Never for the taxpayer to benefit

 

[Sixes]

As long as it's voluntary or lifetime license holders are exempt, I don't care how much the fee is.

I do think a NR fee should be pursued with a one bird limit

As much as I HATE KEMP, I have to disagree with ya.....
