i consider myself a fisherman, i never keep over my legal limits, if i have fish in the freeze i'm trying to not keep more than i need but i do give alot of fish away to friends and customers, im involved in the tagging program . i would like to make sure there are gonna be the same amount of fish for my kids to catch as we catch now but i aint about to hug no trees over it either. i would not mind a 15 trout limit statewide , 15 trout /day in more than enough IMO

That was well-stated, Poxy. One question....do you keep more than 15 even though the limit is 25 per person? |

Define conservationist! If I legally keep only my limit and eat all I catch am I a conservationist? If I deer hunt and shoot the first 2 deer I see and then hunt horns am I a conservationist? If I pass on does during management hunts, that are in place to remove deer from the herd, am I a conservationist?

i do but now that you bring it up i believe i will try some self restraint and try the 15 thing for awhile. i just ran my freezer down to maybe 20 filets i let it get low because i saw i still had fish from last summer, and that is just stupid. im my house im the only one who eats fish so 15 is more than enough, but if i bring someone fishing and they rarely get to fish i dont mind letting them keep everyons catch. the tagging program has really helped me show some restraint towards wanting to keep everything. my hopes for my participation in the tagging program are to help the movement of fish study and also help me as an angler learn what and where a trouts goes that i catch during diff seasons and where it ends up when its recaught

When I was younger deer hunting it was all about the numbers (but not over a yearly limit)....Not any more.....I let at least 13 legal bucks (for our club 6pt or better) walk this year. But didn't shoot a doe either & were on a program to take so many does off our property. So you decide....... Conservationist or not. ??????? |

I don't keep trout over 4 lbs and try to convince everyone I fish with to do the same. Many times I catch and release.

I guess I'm a conservationist. I don't harm the population. I don't catch fish.
On the other hand, Miller Lite will be decimated at all times. I do not conserve usually get my limit plus a few more!

most definitely
I am a conservationist for sure. I help conserve the baitfish population by keeping my limit of fish when I go fishing. And I help the GO GREEN movement by shooting those pesky deer that eat all our green plants. So all in all, I do more than my fair share to keep the ecosystem in check.
