The NRC passed most items on today's agenda: http://www.in.gov/nrc/2354.htm Under item #10 the proposed early archery and late primitive muzzleloader season were withdrawn. The remainder of item #10 was passed and should be in force by next year. Another item of note: Colonel Scotty Wilson is retiring as head of the Law Enforcement Division and Bruce Stevens is leaving IDNR's Mine Reclamation Division. Jack P.S. I almost forgot...Draw-loc devices were also approved for archery whenever crossbows are legal.

HatchetJack Under item #10 the proposed early archery and late primitive muzzleloader season were withdrawn. Based on the comments I read the vast majority of people didn't want these seasons anyway. IMHO, it's time to let the new regs implemented last year run for a few seasons so as to be able to judge their impact.

Thanks for the update Jack........... as always the IDNR does what it wants, all the time tellig what it calls "partners" it supports their ideas.
After the last "FIASCO" I am glad we stayed out of this round of BS!

Currently the IDNR is NOT self-sustaining. Never has been. The hope is that someday IDNR will be funded someway other than the general fund. Case in point: the NRC announced yesterday that the new fiscal year has begun and that every agency has been asked to set aside 3% to kick-back to the general fund. CO's are driving worn out vehicles, the fish hatcheries are decades past being replaced, Law Enforcement can't keep up with the retirements and general exodus of officers, and no plan in sight for upland bird restoration. You get the services you are willing to fund.
Oh, an across the board license increase will be coming soon (this year).

When a person truly considers the recreational value of a hunting license compared to other forms of recreation, I believe a hunting and fishing license is almost ridiculously cheap. But, the real issue is that sportsmen don't really care about anything other then a "give me" attitude. Now, I'm not saying that towards those of visit this site or even many other such sites, but again, the majority of sportsmen don't engage at all except to grab their fishing pole or gun. Sure, there are a few small groups that try to get involved but in today's world they are ineffective because of how politics and influence has migrated over the years. Using the State's resources to produce income for various agencies is fairly standard practice in regard to natural resources. One only has to look at how the State timbers certain lands. Jack, your assessment is very good.

How is Kentucky able to fund their DNR without using any tax dollars? They seem to provide more money and a better overall experience for their outdoor users than many other states. Kentucky Sportsmen Pay for Conservation The KY Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Resources is funded through the sale of hunting and fishing licenses and boat registrations. It receives no general fund tax dollars. http://fw.ky.gov/wetlandwildlife.asp

Raise the license fees .. double them across the board if that's what it takes.. all funds stay with DNR and habitat.

I am pretty sure the Division of Fish and Wildlife is not funded exclusively from the General Fund. However, I do not know what percentage comes from various sources. Perhaps someone here could obtain and post a tabulation, or pie charts, of the major funding sources for F&W and a few other divisions within IDNR? It may be worth starting a separate thread.
May all our hunts be safe, enjoyable, and deeply appreciated.
