I'm guessing some of this money can only go to certain things,otherwise they don't get that particular money. However,if that's the case,I'd rather see them get no money and not waste the money rather than get it and waste it foolishly.In tough economic times,they need to think thru something rather than go off on something cause a study or statistic said. They are trying to recruit new people to hunting/fishing...great. However,ya can't think it's gonna happen the way it did 20-30 years ago. Too many things have changed....divorce rates,split families,dead beat dads,parents working two jobs to make ends meet,etc. People know that hunting/fishing is out there,that's nothing new. How to get people to put their hard earned money towards it,is the question that needs to be asked/answered.
