Yeah $47 sounds right for the sportsman, it was an increase from last year. Heck, when I bought mine I even paid for a duck stamp, knowing good and well there was a 99.9% chance that I would not duck hunt last winter at all, also paid for a WMA permit as well. It is my way of giving a little more to the fund without being forced to. I don't see where the lakes are hurting, there was a man at the boat ramp yesterday when we came in, he was just wrapping up on his limit. Yep, sitting on a 5 gallon bucket, fishing license, couple of jigs and corks and a casting rod worked well enough for him. And mind you this is one of those lake that ain't got no fish in it either, bet you couldn't tell him that without him snickering a bit.
