we don't want a captain planet villain stealing all our fucking salmon fuck you

Don't you only need it for public fishing?

A) Limits overfishing
B) pays for maintenance cost related to having pristine, or as close to as possible, environments

Don't need one to fish on your own land. Have to pay rangers to keep public waters stocked and un fucked
Cuck.
>tfw in my state they double as a temporary cc permit

You can fish in state parks for free you cuck.

That's only for sport fishing.

Sustenance finshing and hunting are legal in all 50 states with no license or permit.
By the way, people who hunt or fish for sport should be beaten to death with a garden hose.

>"Capitalism"

It's to help pay for fish and game patrols. So many people over fish areas or keep catches that are way too small, so these people need to be controlled or else it can damage the ecosystem. The revenue generated from fishing license purchases helps regulate that. The license is cheap and effortless and they sell them at bait stores.

costs go towards stocking lakes and rivers so we can have a sustainable sport

lol, there's very few reasons why you would actually need one
>local authorities are assholes
>you're doing commercial fishing
>you're in an area which attracts a lot of commercial fishing

You really don't need one to go down to a river or ocean and fish, and you literally don't need one if you're not on public property.

Licenses keep tourists (third worlders like yourself) from raping local game populations.
There cheap for instate residents.

it's like that anywhere where public freshwater bodies are managed (coasts/banks cleared, fish populations kept in check etc), well anywhere that counts

deal with it or find another hobby you can afford

It's to keep certain fish populations, like salmon, from dying out due to overfishing.

Yes

Wow, it's like it costs money to stock the rivers.

Liberals try to fix the symptoms rather than the problem. The problem is overpopulation which causes over-fishing/over-hunting and the need for huge farming.

Somethings gotta pay for the greatest country on earth

You know what we DON'T need a license for?

It goes to help pay to keep those god damn chink carps out of our damn water ways.

So yeah ill pay my 50$ a year to keep the chink fish out.

that money pays for conservation programs

Bullshit...

>Need license and lake permit

what do you think pays for all those public boat launches? derp

I'm a Candian who works at a fish processing / smoking plant and it's actually not a bad notion to have fishing licenses be a thing. Essentially it stops people from over-fishing the waters, which is a good thing. What isn't a good thing, however, is the fact that Native Americans can fish how ever much they want, and this just leads to them trolling the waters all day and catching an absurd amount of fish, actively over-fishing and thus amounting to less and less fish each year. Don't even get me started on how they don't have to pay taxes because of their Native Status Card...

You only need a license if you fish with a reeled rod. Still sucks tho also land of the free has highest per capita inmate population by FAR

it's mandatory here too
except at designated fishing ponds

That's not true at all. You need a license either way in certain states like commiefornia. And they force you to get certain stamps and all kinds of bag limits. You can still fish for free off of piers though.

>this
It also pays the salary of park rangers, the glorious trolls who fuck with people in the summer who blast through no wake zones

Well in Minnesota we can.

We have the best conservation program in the world. Game licenses and taxes on long guns provide funding for all variety of conservation programs.

It's one of the few things the government has done well.

You can still fish, just be warned.

My brother did it without a license, he was a homeless drug addict and kind of a hippie. He got caught by a game warden and left the state after getting tickets for it.

He came back like 5 years later, and got a drunk and disorderly even though he was in town to pay his tickets and warrant. He ended up serving like 5 months in county jail for fucking fishing without a license.

It actually turned his life around and helped him though. He is dead now, he got hit by a car riding a bike on his way to work at a construction job. The end.

Don't do heroin and don't fish without a license, and if you do get caught leave no witnesses.

>They say if you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish.... then he's gotta get a fishing license, but he doesn't have any money. So he's got to get a job and get into the Social Security system and pay taxes, and now you're gonna audit the poor cocksucker, 'cause he's not really good with math. So he'll pull the IRS van up to your house, and he'll take all your shit. He'll take your black velvet Elvis and your Batman toothbrush, and your penis pump, and that all goes up for auction with the burden of proof on you because you forgot to carry the one, 'cause you were just worried about eating a fucking fish, and you couldn't even cook the fish 'cause you needed a permit for an open flame. Then the Health Department is going to start asking you a lot of questions about where are you going to dump the scales and the guts. 'This is not a sanitary environment', and ladies and gentlemen if you get sick of it all at the end of the day... not even legal to kill yourself in this country. Thanks again, John Ashcroft, you weird bible addict, can't even handle your own drug. You were born free, you got fucked out of half of it, and you wave a flag celebrating it.

>$50
Jesus Christ where the fuck do you live? In Colorado it's like $20 a year

I am beyond disgusted.
Something as BASIC as fucking fishing, something any free man should be able to do as he pleases, has been regulated and turned into some paid """"""""activity"""""""".
I started looking into it and apparently it's widespread.
THIS is what humanity has been reduced to, next you'll have breathing regulations.

The moral of the story?

>NIGGERS RUIN EVERYTHING
>MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

Florida but it's a fresh and brackish water permit.

We have ten times the amount of water to protect and 22 different kinds of invasive fish to fight off, let alone all the spics and water plants that grow.

>what is basic ecology and growing population

stay in school.

This was NOT supposed to be a feels thread!!!

do you really not understand why Florida has a more expensive permit than Colorado? We deep water fish here in the vast gulf of mexico and atlantic oceans. those larger areas mean you need more personnel.

voluntary remote indoctrination?

You lads don't need a license for fishing in the sea from land right? We only need one for freshwater fishing, so our stocks aren't depleted

Fair enough, in Colorado the park rangers mostly just make sure you don't go into toxic water and die when the EPA decides it wants to destroy the ecosystem and fucks shit up

in massachusetts a sportsmans license is $50/yr. it covers hunting fishing and gives you two deer tags. you can choose to just get a fishing license though, which is 25 dollars

Pft, we dont even have enough investigators here to check on the piping and permits for the companies bottleing water out of our state let alone making sure people dont die in toxic water. Fuck we dont even have enough fish and game to make sure people dont die to gators.

Not in California :^)
50 dollars for a year license
Want an extra pole? 15 dollars
Feel like fishing in the ocean? 15 more dollars.

Want to hunt? License is 50 dollars
Tags? HAHAHAH, 25 dollars for a deer tag, 10
0 dollars for an elk tag.
Big Horn? All your money or get the fuck out. Oh, you want to shoot pigs? There's no season, but, gotta buy tags :^)

The crocodile hunter died for your sins Florida

California nothing you do can shock me anymore

>mfw own land with a stocked pond, many deer, and many turkey

Licenses can suck my ass.

Fishing and hunting licenses are how the DOW maintain the wildlife in each state to a manageable level you dumb nigger.

Where i usually fish half to people don't speak fucking English, so i doubt they have licenses. I'm 31 ans go fishing several times a week. I've been asked for it by a game warden once.

If the $35 i paid for that thing goes towards conservation, i wish those lazy fucks would actually start busting some illegal fishermen.

>the fish i catch are free
>the access to the waters in which i fish is free
>the management of these waters is free

A license is one of the few reasonable ways a market can occur in fisheries. Its not affordable to have a fisheries technician, follow you around, and charge you per lb of fish, or charge you per hour you are on the water. A fee to acquire the goods and services provided by the fish and game department are perfectly reasonable. It's like bitching about paying for a cheese burger at mcdonalds.

>Foriegner wants to steal resources
>Mad that it's illegal

Retard.

This desu. But we can't do anything about it, because that would be racist. We need someone who doesn't care about getting re-elected to lead a party that will do something about nonsense like this, pity Harper didn't try to do it in his final year.

Save da fish

>he fell for the license and size limit jew

Im for Natives having some really nice benefits but not when it comes to animals, they should have to follow the laws we all do with that because it can have a drastic impact.

Them not paying taxes is absolutely find in my eyes, they are very niche, and really the only group of reparations id ever get behind in this country.

Plus NA seem to be more lowkey and dont get all fussy all the time.

you dont need a license in california if you fish off the piers. get fucked flyover cocksuckers

I dont have a hunting or fishing license. I go hunting and fishing often. Just don't be obvious about it.

Yeah because the government stocks lakes and shit with fish and that costs money, they get that money through licensing. It's basically like a tax. A tax that only affects people actually fish. I have no problem with it.

>hunting without a license.

Thats just scummy as fuck dude, dont care about fishing.

>Pay for fish license
>Won't accept gun license

Come on faggots, it's not all that bad. Just don't allow them to limit you the way our government did.

You already have to get a divers license anyways.

Yeah for things like not having to pay taxes for selling cigs/booze or bring allowed to open Casinos, I say let me no problem.

But when they use boats and other industrial fish and game methods to abuse their opportunity it becomes a problem.

I"m a god damned free man and ai can be the woodsman I want to fucking be and I will fight to the death for that right I don't give a fuck if your pussy ass got fooled by obama into having no freedom

I also trespass anywhere
1) without quoting the law on the sign it is null and void
2) you cant own land thats stolen bro
3) freedom fuck you

DESIGNATED

I watched a gator kill a duck the other day in the "lake"/pond thing right behind my house

Its scummy because a lot of people over the country take the time making sure areas are suitable for hunting so people dont overhunt and fuck it up for EVERYONE.

Its not good adding to that.

>Obama made hunting licenses

No.

If you were a real woodsman living in and only off the woods then id have no problem, but here you are on Sup Forums.

Everything is owned by the king. You need the king's permission to fish and hunt his wildlife on his land.

It's like 5 dollars for a fucking year.

i fucking hate sovereign nations within nations bullshit... either join the modern age and the rest of the fucking country or literally go live in the woods and don't get shit from white people ever again.

>Can't afford this
Do you clean toilets sir?

That's not very white of you

fuck that. get with the shit or die off already.

Most natives do dumbass. They arent mostly old ass tribal retards.

>Found the redskin.

those motherfuckers look tasty

And fucks up drunk jet skiiers.

Honestly I wish.

>Most SJW points than anyone else in the entire USA
>no taxes
>all these benefits
>racially immune

>Equating jumping through a couple of easy, if tedious, bureaucratic hoops to non-freedom

K.

In Australia you do, at least in NSW
You also have to put back some fish if theyre too small and you cant dive for clams that are specific size

If you got a special disabled permit, are under 18 or an abo then you dont need the license

>muh enviroment


Such a liberal cuck

Conservative. It means keeping things the way they are.

what?

Anyone can fish anytime without a license there is bag limits and size limits and if you break them you are in serious shit. Like $50,000 fines and they take your car cause you committed the offence with it.

seriously go take some female mud crabs undersized and keep them and see what your state fisheries says.

>$255 for everything
>most likely an annual fee

Do you live off of selling food stamps for watery heroin?

This.

I thought Euro-fags were all for sustainable practices. I guess they are used to fishing for carp in man-made canals and don't understand pristine wilderness.

Nordics and Russians exempt.

>(you)

without licenses picrel happen faggot

dpi.nsw.gov.au/content/archive/news-releases/fishing-and-aquaculture/2012/fishing-licence-offences

Same reason you need a license to hunt, dipshit. To ensure that there are bountiful game animals for everyone to enjoy, and to fund public works to restock the wildlife.

>wanting the status quo

So you're a self-admitted Hillary shill?

mate I'm a QLDer, I didn't realise you guys were so fucked down there. Time to build a Giant moat around NSW and VIC.

>Anglers do not require a licence to fish recreationally in Queensland, except if fishing in some stocked impoundments. The content below provides detailed information on anglers' responsibilities when fishing in fresh waters and tidal waters. Fishing rules apply to all ages but children should be of an age where they can be responsible for the use of their own fishing gear.

No. The way I want it to be is how it started.

You dont know me at all.

Its very white of me. Nigs dont go to the woods.

>You're not even my real dad!

>who blast through no wake zones

can I move to your state?

>mfw guys on 60ft yachts producing 10ft waves in pic related

i dont know how my 20ft boat survived

60ft was an understatement actually, it's more like 90ft
>picrelated

I know that feel

That was not the tone of that reply.

Based Doug Stanhope

What a super shitty purchase.

I can't imagine people violating the no wake zone where I live in Florida.

We have these cute things that are curious as to what a boat propeller is.

Most people back in the day who grew up fishing and hunting were taught how to do it sustainably, just common sense shit like don't take undersized animals, don't take pregnant females, etc.
They had to bring in laws because the Asians were fishing the shit out of everything which the Chinks are currently doing world wide. They have no sense of sustainability, only short term profits and a tragedy of the commons mentality.
