while i definitely agree with the reciprocity issue,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
since NE is so close and the coasts tend to be thought of as ONE

how does that translate from a federal perspective if we
are to apply the reciprocal principle to say,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the Carolinas, the Gulf states, Delmarva???

seems to me to be a can of worms that the Feds would just as soon keep unopened.
the other part of reciprocity that makes it difficult for the states to allow, imho, is how would each state know/earmark it's slice of the licensing pie? i'm for multiple licenses if it is written that the funds stay within the fishery that they are purchased for.

a Striped Bass stamp could be Federal and reciprocal and valid from
say,,,,,,,,Dec to Dec and this would address the migratory stock wrinkle. hunters purchase duck stamps, seasonly, in most states. it is similar also to the deer tagging process that seems very effective.

still alot of unanswered questions; however, i remain hopeful that the solutions we DO come up with
will serve both ~~Country and Citizen!!
