I don't think some folks here realize that fish and game is not attached to the state of NH for funding or budgeting.
The legislature has nothing to do with how fish and game spends its money. Our tax dollars do not go into any fish and game programs (other than a gov grant requirement that the general fund kick in 50K every year, this is a longer story on the why of this). Fish and game is funded by the people that buy hunting and fishing licenses, donate to the org and federal conservation grants.
Fish and game is taxed with aquiring, improving and maintaining most car top and many trailer access points in the entire state, that are state owned.
Altonbayfishin, marine patrol gets money from boat regs, fish and game does not get anything from powerboaters.
