I heard the same thing from some of my "in-laws".
I am all for stopping invasive species.
I don't care if I need to be tested ..
I have my Kan. ANS Certificate.
But the FEES.....
It cost me a fair amount of $$$ for me to tow my boat about 1400 miles (round trip) plus out of state fishing Lic.
I just hate to see more $$$.
So if I am driving through MN on my way to Canada,,Never get off the interstae highway I will need to Stop and take a test and Pay$$
I hope they have a Boat Check point at the state line so a person can take the test and PAY $$$..
Just like the stop trucks and check them.
Next thing they will do is if you bring fishing equipment through the state you will have to get a Fishing lic. even if you do not fish.
I wonder how this will affect Boat dealer that have demo boats?
Last year when I was up in MN. - at one of the bigger lakes DNR had a place where you sprayed off your boats and trailers as you came out of the water.
Guess since I'm going to be on a fixed income soon, I hate to see more FEES.
