Why are license’s necessary and tagging?
Nearly 7% of the United States population either
hunts or fish. All 7% of those people had to of had to buy a fishing or hunting
license. In Ohio a hunting license cost around $19.00 and a fishing license
cost around $15.00 that is around $34.00 a single person will have to pay if
they are going to do both of those acts. Well there are other costs associated
with hunting license. Like tags, when you kill a Turkey another game in Ohio
you must tag it with a tag that you bought from the Ohio division of natural
resources. That is a separate cost from the $19.00 you paid for the license. Also,
when you go fishing the fishing license gets you anywhere on a pond, lake, or
stream. There is other cost if you wanted to go fishing on Lake Erie. It's
called a charter license so the license only last 3 days and it's around $50. if
you're an avid Hunter or Fisher and you enjoy fishing end all the types of hunting.
You will have to pay a pretty penny to be able to do all of it. Though it is
necessary for you to spend that money. When ODNR (Ohio Division of Natural Resources)
Receives your payment for these licenses and tags the money is not just going
into their pockets. 100% of the money they receive from these licenses and tags
goes into conservation. As an example, ODNR owns fisheries throughout Ohio. These
fisheries go out in collect eggs from major rivers and lakes and they take them
back to their fishery and raise them up so that they can release the fish back
into the lakes and rivers. they do this because eggs have a better chance of
survival in a fishery then they do in the wild. they also do this so that they
can keep the population growth healthy so that when fisherman go fishing there
is a healthy stock of fish in that given water. They also use this money for habitat
restoration this includes providing more Woodland for deer and other wildlife and
for the fishing side of this they use it for pollution in the water and putting
trees and shrubs along the shoreline for fish and other aquatic life for
protection. Never believe that the money that you spent on these fishing
licenses and hunting licenses goes into people’s pockets because the fact is
that they spend all of it on conservation.
