FLW vs. B.A.S.S. - Decision time

[djkimmel]

I won't argue with the BigDog. I do prefer to consider fishing a right.

It is a right if you own the water like a pond - you can fish without a license. There is a building movement to pass more legislation to protect our rights to hunt and fish as RIGHTS.

All I mean by privilege is in general you need to buy a license to hunt or fish. The government can take away your individual ability to hunt or fish by not giving you a license.

My biggest concern along those lines aren't losing my ability to hunt or fish because I break a law and the courts remove my ability to purchase a license, it's losing the ability to hunt or fish because misguided people legislate it away, which is why I try to be active in politics and processes; vote, speak out at meetings, write letters, etc.

As far as BASS and FLW Outdoors... well, I'm posting a new thread on that. I've waited too long.

You know what Dan, the government has put too many controls on us.  That is why we need to stay diligent in our ideas and worries.  As I said, we all must write to our legislators to make sure they do the right things on our behalf.
