"Ken Fortenberry"
Your argument, as I read it, boils down to tournaments may be
cash cows for Wisconsin DNR and so tournaments are deserving
of preferential regs because the cash they generate helps fund
all DNR programs.
Angler's who buy fishing licenses are cash cows for DNRs and F&G Depts.
They help to fund the management of the resources.
If that's your argument, I couldn't disagree more. Fishing regs
should be implemented to protect our fisheries. Period. Cash cows
shouldn't enter into the equation.
By your arguement either, "all anglers should be allowed to fish whether
they buy a license or not," or, "no anglers should be allowed to fish whther
they buy a license or not."
Come on Ken. I understand your frustration, but when you pay for an extra
priveledge its fair, as long as the fee is reasonable, and anybody can apply
for the same priveledge. The way I understand it you are free to apply to
apply for a permit to have a tournament the same as anybody else. If you
want to cull then apply for a tournament permit everytime you want to cull
fish. Same as anybody else. LOL.
