I just read thru this thread, and was initially in total agreement with Mr. Simms.
But after seeing we're basically talking about now spending $20 for a 3-day license whereas the prior choice was about $10 for a 1-day license, I believe the negatives of eliminating the 1-day license are being exaggerated a bit. I admit I don't know enough about all the rationale behind this change to really say much pro or con , but it's basically a difference of $10.
Just to put a bit of a positive to all those negatives, perhaps some "visitors" might decide to fish 2 or 3 days now instead of just 1 day, since they will have already purchased a 3-day privilege?
As to the idea that someone is now paying for 3 days when they may not use but one, I annually purchase a 365-day sportsman's license, and most days, I don't use it at all. Not complaining, just pointing out that we typically purchase a licensing "privilege" to be able to do something, lots of things, but not necessarily planning to do something it allows at every possible hour allowed.
But I admit, my pea brain doesn't see the harm in allowing the continuance of the 1-day license, although it "might" have made sense to raise its price, making that 3-day option an even better value. Nice to have choices.
