At the Elbe DNR meeting Doug said that DNR is actually getting more money than before for recreation since there was very little general fund money in previous budgets. The good news is that we may see some actual improvements with this money. The bad news is once the Legislature finds out off highway recreation isn't broke they'll take NOVA and more Pass money away and we'll be double fuked.

fawk! you in luv with the guv?

No, I just work with them and have 3 vehicles that go out on state land for fun or work, and a 4th used less often which depending on how the year goes may not be getting a pass.

At least I don't work for the government and have to buy a pass for my personal vehicles.

With all this new money, the Reiter project is being fast-tracked and will open next year right?

At the October Walker Valley Focus Group Meeting, Chris Thomsen from DNR explained that even though DNR and WDFW get the small portions of the money from the Discover Pass (8% each as opposed to 84% for Parks), DNR and WDFW get their shares first.

Yeah, but there is something like 300,000 hunters in this state that get a discover pass with thier license. I bet there isn't that many wheelers.

What hunting license did you get it with and how much did it cost?

 

[whatthe?]

You don't get a disco pass with your hunting/fishing license. You get a pass that gives you access to DFW controlled lands only, not all state lands like with the disco pass.

 

[Jaydog]

What hunting license did you get it with and how much did it cost?

Big game, but I believe they come with every hunting license, it's included in the cost of the license.

It says discovery pass on it and it's the same logo.

 

[whatthe?]

When did you buy your license? If it was in the spring, they hadn't been issued yet. If later you likely got charged for a disco pass. Unless they gave them as a compromise to hunters until the 2012 season? I'd read it again to see if it says disco or recreational use permit on the heat sensitive paper.

How much did your license cost? There are lots of different Big Game licenses, is it Bear, Deer, Elk, or Cougar?

It's not a discovery pass it's a "vehicle access pass" and it's not supposed to give anyone access to all DNR recreation lands. Seems to be a shade of gray where it's usefull but the law is clear that a "discovery pass" is required and it's also clear the pass sold with a hunting license isn't a discovery pass......Live it up while it works as it's my guess that when they catch on this will change.
