Losing more than just hunters.

I guess they shouldn't have jacked the prices up a few years back. It drove a LOT of people, like me, to get a lifetime license. Now the state gets nothing from me.

Huh? Did they not get a fat check from you? Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. State will earn interest from the fee you paid.

Sure, I paid $600. That’s 6 years of license at the old rate, and I got it close to 10 years ago. They’ve lost money on me at this point.
The State is going to lose even more when the costs go up. Oh, promise, they are going to rise!
Does that mean they can legally hunt deer with a rifle at the age of 12? I think its a little to late for them to change,this new generation is not hunting so why would they take there kids.And even if they wanted to hunt its to hard to find a place to hunt so the sport is dead in the water,at least they can still find places to fish!

They didn't lose money from you, they took yours and spent it stupidly.

No, they lost money. Had they kept things the same, I’d be out closer to $1000 that they could spend stupidly. And I know for a fact im not the only one that bought a lifetime that year. It adds up quick.
Soon they will be taxing children's summertime lemonade stands. "There's money to be made off these unchecked businesses", a spokesman for Gov. Cuomo stated. "For too long these future capitalists have not contribited to the coffers of the poor, the dreamers and minority constituents deserving of such fodder."
That ship has sailed. The cops shut them right down.

Never heard of a NY lemonade stand shutdown happening yet though which perplexes me. Maybe that's part of Cuomo's start up NY program.

Well a real problem is there is a shortage of instructors and classes to get these young people licensed, Lets work on real problems instead of perceived problems. do a hunting class search in your district. I could not find a class in my area 10901 within 200 miles with an opening till april (thats 4 months) this is for next years license . The other problem is the instructors cant find venues to accept them to allow them to have the training course.
Well I am trying to make a difference I just completed my instructor training class thru the state of New York and Just have to complete my apprenticeship with another instructor and then apply for my certificate to instruct.

Had been a certified Archery instructor since the state made having a certificate mandatory. It was fun, and psyched me up for the season, so I got as much out of it as I put into it. Last year I was suppose to re-cert and It felt like I was applying for a pistol permit again, WTF, I told them I was done.

Not sure if you're aware, but the revenue from hunting licenses stays in a conservation fund to improve habitat, purchase land, and do things conservation related. It's not like it goes to the general fund.
Does it pay for the buildings?
Depends on the building I would presume. The purpose of the Conservation Fund is to support "the care, management, protection and enlargement of the fish, game and shell fish resources of the state and for the promotion of public fishing and shooting." So, a pump house building for a trout hatchery could be paid for out of the Conservation Fund. A welcome center, which could be a state park, at the Thruway wouldn't be covered.

It probably still is a couple hundred thousand dollar building but Andy's friends have to get a cut, so 15 million dollars is how it works.
