I remember a few months back when all the auto makers showed up in Washington in their company owned Leer Jets to ask for money. If i remember correctly, they were told to "trim the fat" and then what do ya know, they started making money again. Time for a change i say.

Just look at the precedence, how do rap concerts typically end? Think it through. Please re-read your own comment and tell me that's not racist, and you have not labeled anyone. I don't care for Rap music, but that's just a personal choice. Me telling someone that their music or their concerts are not wanted around me would be completely close minded. If it's money that the city wants to make, then let the concert be.

Make it state wide at least. This would deny thieves an outlet to sell stolen copper wire. To offset any cost of producing this license, charge a yearly renewal fee of 5 or 10 dollars. This would not only curb theft of this item, it would save contractors tons of money in lost property.

Was hunting in Shell Knob 6 or 7 years ago, shot one and took it to butcher. The butcher called and said the meat was bad and the hog was diseased. Was a bummer too, because the hog was around 400 lbs before dressing.

So i dont believe for a second these people are/were poaching because of the bad economy.

The laws and limits are put in place to protect the species. If there were no limits, some people would hunt until their extinction. A lot of work goes into figuring out deer populations and how many can be taken per season. PS: Taxidermists do not prepare the meat for consumption, they stuff trophies.
