Hunting Stimulus Plan

[Simple Hunter]

There are 79 Million Acres of National Park Service Land - currently off limits to hunting.

 

If Congress was smart they would open up the National Parks to hunting with an average ratio of 1 permit (whitetail) for every 50 acres of NPS land. Now we know some NPS land is not suitable habitat for hunting whitetail like Death Valley National Park, etc. But other areas the density could be increased.

 

As a result the Fed Government could sell 1,580,000 permits at $200 a piece - they could command that high a price as the odds for a trophy would increase - and the revenue would be 316 million just for deer. Do the same for other species and eventually were talking over $1 Billion dollars.

 

The trickle down effect of the hunting (ammo purchases, lodging, taxidermy, meals, gas, etc.) would pump huge amounts of dollars into the local economies.

 

The hunting revenue could be given back to the States for addressing budget shortfalls or as stimulus checks to those of us that PAY taxes.

The flaws in your plan is that it is logical and would generate positive cash flow-two things that the federal government abhor-so it will never be accepted.

or how bout this... when a business goes bankrupt it has to sell off assets. since the only thing our bankrupt government really owns in land, how bout parceling some of it off.
