of fish and wildlife.

Like I said, agencies and agents. It is working so good you have this.

Beginning June 1, 2022, visitors must have a WMA Access Permit, Senior Hunting/Fishing License, Louisiana Sportsman's Paradise License, or a Lifetime Hunting/Fishing License to visit an LDWF WMA, Refuge, or Conservation Area, including Shooting Ranges, for any reason—boating, hiking, bird watching, berry picking, fishing, hunting, shooting, etc. The WMA Access Permit only covers access onto the property—it does NOT convey hunting or fishing privileges.

A permit for access to public property. How state of the art are the shooting ranges?

I don't care if the price of firearms or ammo doesn't go down if the tax goes away. The manufacturers need all the help they can get to stay in business.

Why are you pulling out license language? What does that have to do with who benefits from P-R Funds? Yeah, the fees generated from licenses have to be used within the department. What's your point? If they use those elsewhere, they don't get P-R Funds.

Louisiana has always had some of the cheapest licenses in the country. LDWF biologists are some of the worst paid people I know, even in government circles. People constantly bitch about the condition of WMAs, and then bitch about a permit where the fees specifically go to WMA administration.

Winchester turned something like a $550 million profit last year. But yeah, they need all the help they can get to stay in business.

So frick conservation, and HOORAY big business. So the only reason you want the tax gone is because you think it's being wasted, right? You don't care if you actually save any money.

Some of you guys crack me up with these takes.
