[QUOTE="catman529, post: 5339878, member: 9284"] Yup this needs to not be overlooked. It’s a balance between too many NR hunters and not enough funds. I hear it all the time, “it’s all about the money.” Well yes it is all about the money. It costs money to manage the resource, nothing is free. Everyone cried when license cost went up. But those same people cry when there’s not enough game wardens to crack down on their local poaching problem, or their local WMA isn’t kept up as well as it should be. Everything costs money, and TWRA doesn’t get money from the state general fund, so they’re a step behind other states in that regard. A turkey stamp is a great idea to direct more funds toward turkeys. Mossy Oak is now selling a stamp that is not state specific, but I’d support a state turkey stamp as well. It is all about the money. More money for conservation means more studies on turkeys to find answers to problems, more habitat improvement for private and public lands, more budget to purchase land for WMAs, etc. [/QUOTE]
