Only if you still believe the government actually spend the HCTF fee on Habitat conservation. Me thinks not, especially with the upcoming farce they call amateur sport. :evil::evil:

HCTF fees are 100% segregated funds for fish and wildlife HCTF projects, and are administered by a separate board of directors that are not government-directed. All monies collected under the HCTF mantra are put in the fund. Period. Please don't spread misinformation about the good work done by the HCTF fees and discourage other hunters.
