Hey Mad Trapper,
I can sympathize with your stance on this issue however I also noticed on another note you are a young man starting out in this industry, which I support 100% and wish you good luck. However, many of us simply can not afford to pay $50.00 to join each membership which we are encouraged to join and a just from $20.00 to $50.00 dollars is a 150% increase.
I am a member of Alberta Fish and Game Association
I am a member of our local gun club
I am a member of our local fish club
I am a member of half a dozen other community organization who ask for my support, and I give it willingly both in $$$ and time,:rollin
etc, etc, etc.
I am not made of money and I work very hard to earn a buck and I have to make tough decision every day just like every other wage earner on this site. If ATA increases fees by 150% I can not nor will I support it. 10 % increase yes
, 25 % increase, probably
, 50 % increase maybe >D , anything above this, you have just lost another supporting member!:eek
