Just a tax by another name. Why doesn’t CO cut some damn lazy-ass government employees instead? Taxes are used to expand the state and can control the productive people. F’n government workers need to experience what it like to fend for themselves instead of being leaches on people that actually make this country great. (sorry for the rant, I’m in a mood right now)
Unless I'm misreading the article, this is about as fair and voluntary a "tax" as a tax can be.
Per the article, "Because these properties have always been open to the public, not just to the hunters and anglers that purchased them and pay for their maintenance, many people visit these properties and use them as they would any other public land."
Simply put, these areas have been historically maintained exclusively through licensing fees paid by hunters and anglers, yet open to the public at large. All this measure is doing is asking anybody who wants to use the land to become part of the population that has maintained it. Don't want to pay the "tax"? Go hike somewhere else.

It is technically a “use tax.”
I believe only drivers on toll roads should pay for the toll roads and not elderly people or young people who cannot drive, don’t you?

My wife works for the local government. I sometimes tell her they’re parasites. And then the fight started.
