Why do we share our valuable WMA hunting lands with people who do not possess a hunting license? Land that was in part paid for by the purchase of hunting and fishing equipment and licenses?
Almost no hunting access is given in state parks with over populated deer herds. Government funded sharpshooters are considered before educated bow hunters. I have never understood it.
Anybody sunbathing on a boat launch ramp should be asked to produce his fishing license and WMA permit. If he doesn't have one, tell him to get his butt down the road to the tax funded State Park.
There should be a sign at every WMA entrance, parking area, fishing pier, boat launch ramp, etc. that explains how eavery area was purchased and funded. If the foundation will work with the TWRA to provide sign templates, standards, etc, there is a vast network of volunteers already in place that can potentially raise the funds, secure the materials, and willingly erect the majority of such signs where needed over a 5 year time frame. They can also hang some bat boxes, wood duck boxes, survey boxes, and covered information/map centers at any parking area..
