I've vented about this before, so I'll be more concise for this thread.

If I lived in a land of fantasy, and the money from said license went to better enforecement, better research, stocking??, etc., then I'm all for it.

I've lived in RI and MA, and I don't trust either state with public money. I've never lived in NJ, but the same goes there. On top of that, I'm from PA and fish in NJ, RI, and MA, so what I am supposed to do, pay 3 for 3 licenses to fish in the same "pond"?

Federal is the only way to go, since at least then I'll only have to pay once, and I'm convinced the money will be wasted anyway.
