So now they will be nickle + dimed with this "FEE", or get a citation for being unaware of this "FEE". "Conservation"...... Please. Its another BS government $$$$ grab. People dont have to come NH to spend there hard earned $ "FYI". There are plenty of places in neighbouring states to PADDLE for a weekend or the day. The $ generated wont even pay for the signs + ENFORCEMENT that will have to made, FOR people TO BE aware of this ridiculous  F + G is 7 yrs late on their plan of their long term funding situation. So they come up with a $10 fee. This N + D mentatialy just hurts retail, and seasonal business of all kinds |
....you know....considering what the proposed, ten-dollar canoe or kayak or rowboat or sailboat less than 12', Fish & Game sticker program will help to pay...it is a great bargain....
If you have ever car-topped a kayak or canoe, then you know that a launching spot with parking plays a big part in canoing/kayaking. By paying just ten dollars/year for a sticker you are supporting the program....
....as a local and long-time builder of very high quality, super light-weight canoes,
www.rangercanoe.com, I am a little surprised that you do not support the proposed ten dollar/year sticker program, when you consider what it does....maybe you want to re-think your position on this, or something?
....so, let's get with the program ... hut-hut-hut! ..
