Buying Permit Online

[oneshot 1]

I bought my Trout Permit on my Phone yesterday. They took the money out of my Account but it is not showing up on my Phone.

Did I do something wrong? I have been known to. Used this App every since they started with no problem.

Try closing the app and reopening.  My permit showed up right after I bought it the other day.

Why did the trout tags take a $3 hike this year? 

Is that to cover the gas for the stupid urban trout program ?

I noticed that and thought it was the special care they take at Bennett to keep them pan sized...

From the posts on FB the urban trout are well above pan size.  Alot of 2-3 pounders.     Why can't the white ribbon areas get a fair number of those?

It's been tossed around for a couple three  years and I've seen a couple poll things asking about higher tags vs fewer trout vs higher limit vs smaller size; been a while since I read about it but I believe the public input (probably by non fishing people) favored higher limits with smaller fish and increased fees to keep the same/more numbers. Also some keeping up with the neighbors, it's always brought up how much the neighboring states charge.

The urban program is gonna get all the resources  it takes, for as long as it takes,  long range goal is to recruit those inner city kids into becoming part of MDC so the agency is a reflection of the state's population. Currently not many of those kids go on to become wildlife biologists or fisheries managers etc.  or I should say that's my guess.

That should be ok.  We don't need 8500 biologists and 6700 fisheries managers in this state.   About 20 of each should be able to handle it.

I'm 100% opposed to the way the MDC thinks.  Show me ONE dedicated trout fisherman that cut his teeth by first catching a trout in a Missouri bass pond.   If it's truly a "recruitment effort" then it is the stupidest one ever.

The metro areas pay more in taxes that the rest of the state.  So you get less... That's all, pretty simple.
