I just got the "2012 Califorina Big Game Hunting" mag today in the mail box. The 2012/2013 hunting licenes will be available April 15 2012. There will be fundraising tags for deer, elk, antelope and ca bighorn this year.

Did you notice if NR could get into the fundraiser?

To ca dfg or ca general fund?

To ca dfg last year when they did this for the first time they just did an open deer zone tag which if u get drawn for it u can hunt any legal zone with that weapon for the year and an owens valley elk tag and those two alone brought in like 135,000 and now since there offering antelope and sheep im sure the number is going to be way higher especially the sheep tag itself i would say will bring in $100,000 alone if not more since its such a coveted tag as in any sheep in the western states

That's good! We have something similar in nevada.

The reason I ask is look at the basis of the ca lottery and now look where money goes.

[cali_hornhunter]

Right on!!! ya know what you mean there as the big game regs book states all the money thats raised with sale of entries it suppose to go to management programs for the species and hopefully its true where this money goes but you never know with CA lol

[Drhorsepower]

Haha. That's a fact.

Ca DFG monies head straight for the general fund, DFG is "allotted" approx. 10% of total monies collected. Can you say CORRUPT!

Sorry, lived here my whole life,and unfortunately know the whole story.
