Where you all getting your Season Passes at?
Completely different worlds, comparing outdoor recreation in the Midwest to the Southwest. Never had to deal with a lottery, or picking units on a map when hunting up there. Grab a rifle and head out to a farm or public land. Fishing? Same deal, find a pond or river somewhere and have at it.I've been out of the desert scene for a long time and never paid attention to this. This is only the start. Fees will go up, be added, etc.
That was the problem with fishing & hunting when I moved to CA from Iowa. I couldn't believe all the fees to do outdoor activities that was/is free elsewhere. Had to by a state licence to fish, then got to the lake, had to pay to park, had to buy another license for the lake, had to buy a permit to put my boat in the water, etc. (I gave my fishing equipment to a buddy & never fished again, just no fun & too many people as well).
But, but it's for the environment so....LOL. Oh well, quit complaining it's only a few bucks (that'll go up). WTF
Yea, I sold my guns at the same time as well. Hunting is an absolute joke, and dangerous, out here.Completely different worlds, comparing outdoor recreation in the Midwest to the Southwest.

I will say, it’s opposite for camping and off-roading- much easier and much more area down here. Camping on BLM or state land with little supervision, compared to state and county parks and campgrounds with Nazi hosts and quiet hours.
