$35 to fish in NH?!?! More fees on the way!

[SeanSchade]

And they want me to buy a $10 sticker for my canoe!

only if you put it in the water owned in common...

I thought libertarians were for user fees?

User fee's paying for parks is better than taxes funding them, but even better is for the parks to be privately owned and funded in whatever non-force-using way the owner chooses to. I don't understand what there is to pay for with forests though. It's nature, it's meant to exist on its own.

What advantage is there to "Privately Owned" parks? What's the difference in paying the park a use fee, and paying the owner a use fee?

[burnthebeautiful]

The difference is a privately owned park is privately owned? Do you want an explanation as to why it's better for things to be privately owned? Cause I kind of expect people on this forum to already be libertarians.

Not us anarchists

I would rather pay user fees than taxes.  But it seems like the Fish & Game people are going a little overboard.  Do you need a permit to fish in a private pond?  I see PORC POND being constructed sometime in the not-too-distant future.   

Also, in MO you don't need a permit to hunt on your own land.  Is this true in NH as well?

but the river is running fine without any help from the government.

the only role of the state is to protect the integrity of the inter-generational common asset and insure that no one's equal access rights are being infringed upon.

[burnthebeautiful]

Equal-access rights? There's no such thing as an "access right" to someone elses property. You should only get access to something if the owner of the property wants to give you access.

inter-generational common assets is just an excuse used by all the hippy environmentalists and socialist nutcases for micromanaging our lives and property.  common assets= communal property and inter-generational is just a fancy way of saying 'IT FOR THE CHILDREN' 

[FrankChodorov]

in NH all bodies of water over 20 acres and all groundwater is owned in common as an individual equal access right with the state as the public trustee.
