IMO, reinstating the LL will only achieve the same result as the first round of LL sales- a quick infusion of cash and then back to an insufficient revenue stream again. It's a short- lived solution at best and one that has proved to be disastrous in the long run. The DFW needs funding to properly manage the resource, that's the simple reality. It's not so much a matter of whats fair, what's been promised, or even of principle. It's a matter of saving our sport for the common people. If, as sportsman, we can't put our heads together and resolve the issue, we're doomed to a private takeover of wildlife management, effectively pricing most of us out of the sport. I don't think I could've put it any better Hux!

State said if I paid them 525.00 I could hunt any game in Indiana for the rest of my life. I took them up on the deal and now I expect them to live by it.
The IDNR has been broke and lost money all of my life which is close to 60 years. I cant remember when they were in the black.
Why don't they look to cut some of the programs that aren't popular and are too costly? Look how they handled Atterbury gun range, spent 4 million dollars on a high end shooting facility and cant even keep it open. I know the money came from the feds but couldn't the DNR handled it better?
IDNR needs to budget better for the money they receive and spend with in their means. h.h.

It appears that NRC and DR NR is considering "bundling" some licenses. Maye a "Sportsman" type license covering a multitude of seasons?
From the December 6, 2009 NRC Advisory Council Meeting..

I bought my LT in 1987. I usually kill a bunch of deer every season. Not to mention a spring turkey since 1988. I hunt bow, and MLR. You do the math. The DNR is losing.
