its got to be a two way street here. Yea its only $5, but in actuality its really a lot more than that. The big picture is this. California continues to raise the prices of fishing license every year. While fish stocking decrease. If prices decreased on the fishing licenses I may be more willing to chip in and help out. California is becoming more corrupt with fees than any other state. It really is starting to become silly with fees for this and fees for that. The people of California are not as excited anymore with hunting/fishing fees continuously going up with nothing in return. If this tread continues, we will see a decline with our youth in the outdoors .
Like some one mentioned above, isn't our licenses supposed to already go to helping out wardens and staff for catching poachers?? If not, why? Last edited by WARRIORMIKE; 01-05-2017 at 09:42 AM. |

I cant trust our corrupt Kalifornia government to actually get any of that $5 to its intended destination. More than likely it will be used by Sacramento in an effort to take away more of our rights - both gun and fishing! |

Law Enforcement
Look, I too am a law enforcement officer. I support most all of them (let's face it, there are some bad apples in uniform out there). AND, I love doggies, especially German Shepards! I believe to do their jobs to the best of their ability requires good equipment and I support that whole heartedly.
I have been buying fishing licenses my whole life, and I agree, that should be enough. This is not about the fine ladies and gentlemen who are game wardens. They will do their jobs no matter what, because that's what good public servants do. This is about the State of California, that even though I love and am proud of, has mismanaged funds and expects us to pay even more. That said, I will buy the stamp, not for the state, but for the law enforcement officers, Game Wardens included, who risk their lives on a daily basis. If it will help them, I'm in. To all LE's out there, thank you for what you do in these trying times! J

Got my license today and when I asked to add warden stamp, the store owner could not locate it on the computer.
It is a Korean owned store, and perhaps language was the reason. I had to explain what it was. I am going to try it on line. |

Not only the license fee
The two acts mentioned above put a pre-sale tax on almost every kind of hunting and fishing sales, from bullets and guns to rods, reels and lures. The money also goes to habitat restoration, purchase of wildlife ares, fish hatcheries etc. In this way alone, sportsmen like us do more towards the protection of fish and wildlife than all of the tree huggers who spend most of their money on litigation lawyers.
