I do not think it is a jealousy factor as much as everyone should have
to follow the same rules. If I can only fish on certain days at a lake,
then everybody should only have the same days. Special events like a
Field and Stream photo shoot are a different matter, and I do not think
anybody will be upset about those times. Just like having a special kids
fishing derby. Netted area with lots of fish. There are those who would
sneak in a fish the area ahead of time but no one complains that the
kids or Vets get a special deal on a couple days a year. Should George
Clooney get to fish closed days also just because he is famous? It is a
public waterway, and all the public should have the same access rules.

Bill, I suppose most people would feel as you do, and I tend to agree. I
guess after spending 22 years in the military, I became accustomed to
"special privileges".

I guess that is the reason I don't have a problem with people getting
special privileges because of their accomplishments, their status, or
even who they know. It just never seemed like a big deal to me. But
after reading your post, I think I might be in the minority!
