AINT IT THE TRUTH. Liberals and politicians start a BAN on animals then see that hunters want to have the animal in their sport so then the Liberals and politicians think "GOOD IDEA" LET'S TAX THE CITIZENS.
In reality politicians - all politicians, once elected, think that US citizens don't own any property or monies. It is all the politicians to spend as they wish because citizens are not smart enough to use their wealth.
I could give a week long lector on Socialism, Communism, Totalitarianism. Our School systems were taken over by these orders from more than 100 years ago. We were all subjected to some form or another in our lives. BUT since the 1960s it has radically changed. There is a Major University located in NY. This University teaches "TEACHERS" and with the Liberal/Socialism ideas.
This is where Teachers and Professors then go into major universities and other universities and teach their philosophies.
I know this for fact. My sister holds several PHD's and had her reality of the human race changed so much that I don't know her anymore.
Getting back to "FEES" on hunting. It is just another TAX.
