Several years ago when we lived in MT, they were implementing a law where you had to have a license or permit to PICK HUCKLEBERRIES on public lands! Don't know if they still have the law or whatever happened with it - would love to know if any Montana Freepers are familiar with this one.

One of the ways governments often try to protect resources or limit demand for services is to impose onerous burdens to access whether through licensing, fees or both. In many, if not most, cases these requirements are discriminatory. For example, where I live we have taxpayer funded recreational facilities with swimming pools, basketball courts and the like. Even though they are built with taxpayer dollars our kids have to pay fees to use the facilities and the fees are relatively high. IMHO this discriminates against the less fortunate in our community, though there aren't many, because they simply can't afford to pay the fees.
