Thread: $11.50 for a block

I got my letter today. I was a bit horrified actually, not being aware of it coming.

The whole thing smacks of - well if you want recreational hunting areas (DOC want to get rid of them) then here you go, this is what you get.

We were already paying for the cost of them mailing out the permits, no one at DOC has been putting kill returns in the computer for years (I checked) and I am not sure how they come up with the figure of $30-40K admin cost at all.

Sounds like revenue gathering just because they can, and too push hunters into wanting an open block system, which is what DOC are after.

They say that within a year they will have the ballot online....yet strangely, it will still cost you that money to apply.

You'd think they would be sponsoring us with all the deer we kill for them, instead of them treating hunters like this.
