so people who dont buy licenses are poachers and criminals? How does it steal from honest guys? What are you seeing from the $$ paid to fishing licenses? WHat are they taking away from you?

As the thread demonstrates the states are taking your money to fund beauracracy and thats it. Its BS.

If they sent me a check, Id cash it, and continue to fish. Then pay the $10 fine if caught. Big deal. It wouldnt bother my conscience at all.

EPO's are reluctant to even check for saltwater licenses never mind running the customer ID#'s to see if they are valid...

Raven,

They access the online Mass license data base right from the laptop in the truck. Your customer ID number is right above your name on the license. It's very unlikely they would run this unless they already have you for something else.
