As we all now know the lisence count is where the state can get the easiest and probably most amount of monies for our outdoor enjoyment. The thing to do if what most seem to think is the case, is to get the 65+ crowd verified lisences with the Fed monies to be harvested. Since you at your advanced age are wiser and more knowing than I am(by 10yrs.), I have challenge for you.Find me a REAL, HONEST politician that actually gives a crap about you, me, my kids and your grandkids that will sit down and listen to what I have to say. If you can do that, I'll round up as many outdoors folks as possible to suggest to them to provide a $5 LIFETIME license to all of the 65+ crowd so that the state will be able to get the Fed. monies and it won't break you old ENTITLED farts!

Can you pull that off?
As for the the REAL and HONEST politician.I think sometimes they are trying to please such a vast group of people it doesn't look like they care.I also believe some really just don't care.I mean look as this small group we can't really agree on the age thing.As for the 65+ license being the easiest and most monies for them to get the match.I have found it to be true the easiest way is just a temporary fix that makes the problem even harder to fix later.EXAMPLE(just about everything that our fed.gov't has done for the economy since Pres. Reagan had sat us up so well,they rode his coat tails and did nothing.When he made it clear that his plan was a 15 year plan and something would need to be done to carry it on!)Maybe they could have the 65+ just stop by every year to show I.D. and pick up a free license just to get the count.Or have a plan to grandfather in those that are near that age (say 5-10 yrs.)then do away with it.And I want it to be know I have 20 yrs. to go.Sorry I just could not shut up.I'm finding this debate really interesting and it's making me want to get more involved.Thank You all.
