Last week end, I had a barbecue for family members. My cousin and I came to talk about the new season hunting black bear in Oklahoma.I caught off guard when said that it is not hunting bear negro.Pregunté why and he said that he was not going to pay the $ 101 for bear label.

“But you have a license for life, you don’t have to pay these fees” I said

“Better go to read the regs, licensees are not exempt of life”, said

So I entered the House and grabbed my regulations.I couldn’t believe it! I was right!

I just couldn’t believe that Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Department was to make the license of lifetime holders of pay to hunt bear. Hell, some of the public land that is open to bear hunting was bought with money of hunting funds of life! How dare they!?

Needless to say, my plans for a trip of camping, hunting deer/Bear quickly disappeared. Not that I can’t afford the $ 101, is that I am not going to pay!

My father bought my combined license for a lifetime of hunting & fishing for my birthday 16.puedo honestly say that have paid many times for his car. $ 225 Paid you at the time. A bargain by any stretch of the imagination.

Over the years, I’ve been a supporter of Wildlife Department. Use to buy the Atlas of WMA and buy still Habitat patches.Each year that stop by their stand on the boat of Tulsa and travel show and buying cookbooks, and other items for gifts for family and friends. I have done many donations over the years.

I think have done an excellent job in the management of the resources of our estado.Pero during 10 years or less, I noticed a change in the policies and the mentality of the Department.More and more, it seems that they are concerned with income generation. It seems that all of them have been doing in Oklahoma City for a while is to sit back and dreaming of ways to increase your income off the backs of the sportsmen of Oklahoma.

I understand that times are difíciles.Pero increased income out of people who you with where you are today is not the way to do it! Funds for the life of hunting and fishing license is suppose to be a repository to help buy more tierra.Así that each licensee of life can say they helped the ODWC buy many of the public lands of the State.In return, we get these tags or fishing and license of life, where we have to buy a caza.O unless that is the way in which it was originally created and how it has been for many, many years.

My cousin wrote the Department stating that I thought making a lifetime license holders are to purchase a license of black bear was unfair.In short, his response was that “told us when he bought the license of life it would be good for.”We even have increased bag limits and added other game animals to leave do these licenses more valuable “Yes, you said what would be covered, but 25 years ago, hell, just 10 years ago you still said no there was no significant populations of black bears in Oklahoma! why, the Department said the same about mountain lions!”

If you ask me, the Charter had some major attitude to it.

Still, a whole life does a lifetime is not true?Apparently not for the Oklahoma Department of wildlife conservation.

As I said before, I think the ODWC has been taken by bureaucrats and Bean.No counters has happened during the night, but gradually over a period of time to not raise suspicion.

Time was when our license of covered life trapping, but now have an additional license “trapping”.We now have a host of permissions and the rates we pay us we were excluded once or another or simply did not exist in the year pasado.Este began licensing guides and hit them with a large license fee as well as require them that carry liability insurance (thank its secure this lobby) network.your we have that buy a license of bear hunting outrageously precio.Y the kicker that closes the season after they have been collected 20 bears.

If you close the Oklahoma bear season after a week since the quota of 20 bear met, make those who you’ve purchased a license of bear get cashback since the season was closed to principles?

I do not believe it.

It is time that we begin to put people back in the ODWC who have our best interests at stake, not line the bottom or stakeholder especial.Es time to get rid of pencil pushers and Bean counters and get some people who know what the hell are haciendo.Si the ODWC needs revenue, then raise the price of the license of lifetime! is still only $ 775 for a combination. most of the neighbouring States that I am aware of Texas, Arkansas, and I think to Kansas, begin at $ 1000 to your license of life.

Do your income off of the backs of people that brought him to dance!

If even a percent of all funds life hunting were used to purchase or manage the property and Habitat for black bear then license holders of Oklahoma life should be exempted from the bear hunting license fees!

I would recommend noone buy these overvalued oso.Si license really want to have the opportunity to kill a decent bear, go to Arkansas.De this way, you don’t have to worry about the season closes on you, leaving the holding of a piece of paper that you paid $ 101 for if you are a resident or $ 506 for if you’re a non-resident, even if you are a licensee of life!
