no charge in Mo,

No charge in Gawga!

I laugh at online licenses in SD I fill it out, print it out on my paper and pay $8 for a convenience fee just another forced tax!

I believe it cost the government money to have these tags made and distributed. Should the general public pay for this or the user of the tags? I know it cost the State a buck to have me issue them and fill out the paperwork. It also cost the State to mail them to me. There is a State employee who manages the sealing program and I believe does it for a paycheck.

What are we paying extra taxes on our supplies for is it only a one way street just who the heck is paying those salaries Ya think!

Nice input trappers, paying the price stinks but waiting for the tag is worse since we have shipping times to meet and the state employee who doesn’t trap doesn’t understand this , we have to buy a OTC temporary tag why can’t the place you buy that just give it to you there ?

Here they clip it on to make sure they get the info they need they never send or hand you the tag to put on yourself. AZ had a temp tag years ago still might not sure today.

Not trappers.

"Where does the money come from?
Pittman-Robertson Act funds are derived from federal excise taxes collected from manufacturers and importers on the following items:

Handguns (10 percent of wholesale price)
Other Firearms (11 percent)—includes any portable weapons such as:
Rifles
Carbines
Machine guns
Shotguns
Fowling pieces
Antique firearms
Shells and cartridges (11 percent)
Firearm parts or accessories (11 percent)
Archery equipment (11 percent)"

You forgot licenses that the GF collect it cost me almost $100 for my combo and trapping plus the big game tags it still goes to the game department I think they can give a few dollars back. I’m a trapper that buys guns, ammo, archery equipment, fishing gear and licenses so yes trappers pay in many ways.

I didn't forget anything. I know hunters pay for most of the game management and their funds are most likely diverted to manage trapping.

Yet trapping benefits everyone concerned you’re doing what you always do.

If I trap 100 marten and sell them for $10,000 who benefited besides me? Certainly not everyone.

I asked this question on here a couple years ago after the NTA convention in NW Iowa. The first 2 guys I spoke with where from Tennessee and Georgia. Thier answer was they just go to the office and tell them how many they want, get them for free.

Yeah, commie states aren't much fun.

I have no time for your doom and gloom run around game.

We used to have to meet a warden face to face to get the tags, that changed during covid to mailing the tags out. Now we register them by phone, just like deer.

Geeze Dirt, who imposed that stupid law. It isn’t trappers fault that the feds that inspect luggage and cargo can’t tell the difference between a b cat and that asian cat, or a north american river otter from a brazilian otter. Send them to school to tell the difference and leave trappers alone! lol

To tell you the truth Lee I believe each and every State imposes their own tagging requirements. As far as I know, no wildlife requires a CITES tag unless it is going to be exported? I believe the CITES tags are provided free to State agencies and are used to tag wildlife that are required to be tagged by State regulations. I also tag wildlife with State tags that the State has manufactured.
