• Why Are Fewer People Hunting?

  December 12, 2010 at 10:25pm

  I agree hunt licenses outpriced the market. Still lots of people hunting. Today, Archery is trending as preferred to the loud and traditional hunting with guns. The Archer is silent and is unnoticed by G&F or the landowner. I’ve crossed Mexicans in our region hog and deer hunting with bow & arrow.
  Florida’s overreaching “conservation” land grabs have removed tens of thousands (close to 110k) taxable land acres from Florida’s State Property Tax Roll. Leaving homeowners & private landowners to make up the difference. With F&G running the “conservation” areas hunting has declined. Turkey Permits, Deer Permits, Hog Permits, Quail Permits……. VERY Expensive and based on Quota Lottery Draws!
  Too much regulation, too many fees, too many govt employees on the Parks Payroll. F&G spends so much money for instance: cutting, improving, paving shell roads throughout the Conservation Areas. Most Game Officers are issued fully outfitted ATV, Airboat or 15′ center console boats. All of this on the taxpayer! Thanks Govt!

• Backyard Volunteers Count Fireflies to Track Possible Decline in Numbers

  ha! coincidence? My farming lands saw declines in lightning bugs over last decade. I recently remarked that they have obviously recovered. They are also attracted to our windows at night because of the Big Screen TV flicker. I compare today to my youth in the 70′s when my cousins & I would catch and release them in mason jars. Great American Fun!
