Proposed Changes to Seniors Licenses

[MuskieBait]

I actually agree with everything you said, Eli. If I were to retire tomorrow comfortably, you'll see me fishing every day. If I retire at 65, you'll still see me fishing every day. Maybe then I'll finally catch a River Redhorse...

And I do agree that catch and release is a generational phenomenon.

But the problem I see is a political problem...that the government continued to fail their support of MNR operation costs though our taxes, and seeing that the future license dollar are going to decrease due to population aging...instead of finally owing up to pay for the programs through tax dollars once again, they use the excuse of "poor understanding of senior angling data" and throw in a senior license as a cash grab.

I have no issue with the principle of the senior license...and the way you break it down, I agree 100%...but I don't like the agenda behind the license...
