[QUOTE="cscokd, post: 904341, member: 5609"] I concur with the majority here, since they are at least buying the tags they aren't full-fledged poachers, yet, but they aren't too far from crossing that line. My true feelings about poachers aren't appropriate for a "family-oriented" forum such as this. :nono1: Regarding the purchasing of tags and licenses, I've come to appreciate their true purpose, to help US, the hunters and fishers, manage our wildlife population so that we will not be subject to the whims of the legislative process. The money we pay cannot be re-appropriated to other purposes, and since the ODWC takes no funding from the legislature they can't use the funding as a way to control ODWC's behavior. In effect, I'm paying a relatively small fee that funds conservation based on good science. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is the state agency responsible for managing fish and wildlife, The Wildlife Department [B]receives no general state tax appropriations and is supported by hunting and fishing license fees and federal excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment.[/B] [url]http://www.wildlifedepartment.com[/url] "In utilizing and conserving the natural resources of the Nation, the one characteristic more essential than any other is foresight.... The conservation of our natural resources and their proper use constitute the fundamental problem which underlies almost every other problem of our national life." Theodore Roosevelt Address to the National Editorial Association, Jamestown, Virginia, June 10, 1907. [/QUOTE]
