we have 1.5 million alligators in this state and dole out a total of about 4000 permits[1 permit=2 alligators]we as hunters almost exterminated the alligator not long ago,same with the elk,bison,antelope,turkey.if we go unchecked we tend to over do it.you speak of the destruction of hunting,here in florida you are almost out of luck unless you join a leased club,from1000 to 10,000 a year.you have a multitude of blm and national forest.you live in a dream destination for what most americans consider a once in a life time hunt,i have hunted wyoming numerous times for elk those days are gone the nearly 1000 special tag,4-6000 guide fee,shipping of meat,i have two sons one was able to join me on an elk hunt the other one is of age but we are priced out,,,he will never see the windriver range,smell the sage.because like it or not we out of staters fund your game dept.what is the cost of your elk tag compared to an out of stater,and most of the land is classed as federal not state.that means we all pitch in.lets just vote out the game departments and go back to the way we were.why should anyone tell me when and where i can hunt no matter whose land its on it does not belong to the land owner.no more draws no more seasons if i need or want meat i should be able to get some also that means i can gen on a plane fly to a western state of my choice find what i want and take it.oh trust me it is here also,if you are not rich you wont hunt,seems like its true history repeats itself only royalty was privilaged to hunt.thats what i see where i am at.
