That's what happens when you let government run everything. Always a contradiction, always hypocrisy, always insane.
Did I mention I used to work for the gov't; in the "Department of Redundancy Department".
That's racist.
It's an "intentional" slap in the face.
(and some genius-prog probably thinks Dim's don't fish, LoL)
Upside Down, Clown World
Didn’t God say we could harvest animals for survival? That being said poaching is a bad thing. When my children were young I taught them to fish in a local small lake. I even helped restock bass fingerlings there outta my pocket. Anyway, DNR never went there. Started not catching much of anything for a while...then one day a non-English speaking Hispanic FAMILY was there using CASTNETS. I got mad & confronted them but no Inglaise...whatever. Called DNR & they said it was semi-Private (???) so they didn’t care. I know what I wanted to do, but was stuck?! I did run them off but got tired of going back to check. They ruined a good place and time for my family. That being said, do Licenses help? Yes. There’s not enough enforcement IMO. (Yes I know there’s bad DNR people too).
The tragedy of the commons.
And all licenses are technically unnecessary. Not having a license doesn't actually prevent you from doing the thing, it just creates a scenario where they can fine you for doing it...
Everyone is failing to see the real problem here. Why in the hell do you need permission from the government to fish in the first damn place?
Bc we are a community, and unfortunately some people are full of greed and destructive impulses. They will take all the fish and leave you none if they arent stopped.
Sounds to me like we are raising our children wrong.
Yessir, this problem would be much better solved and without all the hypocrisy if it was solved by the community.
We need to figure out how to reverse the way society has broken down community. I am at a loss for solutions though.
We have serious cultural issues to address before people can just start trusting other people to be decent human beings
THIS!!! ALL DAMN DAY!!!
Next they'll require the fish to provide consent for you to catch them.
Ha good one!
No officer this isn’t a pregnant salmon, xe identifies as a male, so no poaching here...
And in person!
Bloody hell
I've never had a fishing license. And no one has ever stopped me from fishing, either on the piers at the ocean or in a creek.
The license supposed pays for wildlife programs / stocking fisheries etc…. But it probably actually pays for wayfair cabinets
Only problem with that is, if they catch you they can take your gear and a fine. Depends on the DNR guy, but yeah.
This all leads back to the time when we collectively stopped killing the people who tyranize and steal from us.
We’re NOT gonna take it, anymore.
I have a good friend who is a game warden, they do not mess around. Better to have your license as they can and will prosecute, they are pushed to for funds.
Their job is as dangerous as a (wayback normal world) Police Officer’s. Many cases more-so because poachers USUALLY are just trying to feed their families and that gets personal.
I've never seen anyone that looked official. If someone took my gear, it would be really easy to replace.
Gotcha...g’luck fishin!!!
Fish Lives Matter (FLM) and shouldn't be marginalized because of your whiteness. They live in oppressive conditions because of you. You should feel ashamed and give them reparations.
If you are hungry you can fish with no license. My Sister in law was busted for fishing and the charges dropped because she was survival fishing not sports fishing.
So dumb...I’ve been caught. Instead of court I bought a lifetime fishing license in a state I no longer reside in ?
