The Mass State Senate 38-0, approved and sent to the House a bill requiring individuals who apply for sporting,hunting, fishing,or trapping licenses to complete the Massachusetts Hunter Education Program. The proposal would repeal a current law, which exempts anyone who has a firearms license. Supporters said even individuals who are already licensed to carry a firearm should be required to complete the education program because it focuses on hunting law and ethics, wildlife identification and management and the care and handling of game.
You guys and gals out there that have been hunting and fishing all your lives now must be educated on what kind of animals and fish you have been killing all these years....not only that you have to learn how too handle what you've been killing.
It does not mention what the tax....sorry I ment Fee...(how stupid of me)..is for the cost of this course.....(and some guys want a saltwater license) another novel idea..( you do know what striped bass looks like right).
There is hope on two fronts here
1. Get hold of your state Rep as this is now going too the house.
2. Vote these Bastards out of office come next election unless some one can come up with a better option
