Maine sports licensing urged to fund better patrols
In a Maine Independent letter, a resident sportsman argues for a simplified annual resident license of 1.15 dollars with 75 percent of revenue spent in the domiciled county. He proposes non resident licenses set at 15 dollars for deer and 15 dollars for birds, plus a zero nonresident fishing license, and calls for expanded warden service across counties, improved trout streams, and fair funding from the Fish and Game Department. The piece also notes the impact of summer tourism and camps on wildlife funding and laments current licensing and administration.
