Is it just me, or did the Resident Salt Water package go down in price? Wasn't it $38.00 this past year? (28 for freshwater and 10 for salt stamp.)
It was $33.00 and $10.00 for the stamp.
That's right, I forgot it went up last year also. Weird that fees like this are still going "up" when the economy is going south.
Sean it is not so strange when you realize all the expenses TPWD has on things like kayak and canoe trails, additional game wardens and wildlife biologists that work on big ranches and wildlife management areas with hunters and fisherman funding most of these things. There are a lot of people that use TPWD properties and services but few that pay for it. That is one reason I always tell tree huggers to go buy a hunting or fishing license before they gripe about the things hunters and fisherman do because we more than pay our way.
You are 100% correct.
I have no problem paying for my license. I actually buy a TP&W park pass every year for the same reason.
It's just that this year, I was hoping that some of that stimulus money that was earmarked for Texas would help TP&W out, and keep our outdoor expenses down.
