Not to be a Negative Nancy on this but aren't most of the programs that these voluntary permits describe things the PAFBC should be doing with our regular license fees anyways? I don't know much about the PA agencies but if this were NYDEC I would be very suspicious. It could be seen as just another way for the State to further fleece money from sportsmen and line a bunch of bureaucrats' pockets. I say that because I know very well the history of corruption in both the DEC and NYS in general. Maybe the Commonwealth and the FBC are different...
