Check out this article from the post. http://www.denverpost.com/huntfish/ci_13811465
Starting next season, you won't be required to purchase a walk in stamp. The article says they want to get more kids involved, and eliminating the walk in access fees will do that.
I don't like the idea. They say they're going to pay for the walk in access through the farm bill. Why don't they keep the stamp to raise additional "bonus" funding? Then they could lease additional land, or try to lease up more premium habitat. If they are doing it for the kids, just give the kids a stamp for free. I actually wouldn't even mind an increase in the stamp if it meant better hunting opportunities.
What are everyone else's thoughts? I think I'm going to write the DOW and ask them to reconsider this idea. Maybe with enough support, they'll re-think this.
