I don't mind the hunting or fishing license fees...Right now I have a Shellfish/Crab license. It was only about $20 for the year, and I made that up the first three times I went Oystering. I figure that between clams and oysters I am way ahead of store prices, not to mention much better quality.

The fees also go to support wildlife and fishery management, which is something I do not mind supporting.

Let me know if you want to get some good seafood!...Private beach to clam is a short walk, great oyster beds about 5 miles away, Dungeness crabs are plentiful and we have some great rivers for salmon. If you want to really get some good stuff, I will take you over to Neah Bay...Wayne would be the best to introduce you to, but he is having a bit of problems over the killing of that whale.
