[QUOTE="Rifleman513, post: 1587802, member: 32318"] This link explains well how this fund is used and how it works. As far as other groups using up all the money hunters and anglers put in I can say as a CO SAR member the use of this fund is not used on all missions. Mainly when gear is broken or there is more travel with more fuel used then teams can be reimbursed for some costs. Each county SAR team is made up of volunteers who invest a lot of money in their own gear to be used on rescues. In this area I don’t feel there is really any big problem with who pays and who benefits from this fund being in place. I do think that mtn bikes should also have to pay the same permit just as atv’s etc. To me any wheeled vehicle being used on these trails or land should have to pay in. Like others have said, how to get everyone to pay in evenly is an almost impossible situation to work out. I’m not overly happy with increased costs wether resident or not the costs will go up no matter what. It then comes down to where the line is that the increases start to harm their bottom line and prices will stabilize or come back down. As with anything they will use their leverage to get as much income as possible, but in a state like CO with so many tags both res and non-res they know the agencies survival depends on quantity over quality.
