They will be selling wildlife watching licenses. If you take a walk in the woods and look at the critters without one, you'll be fined, even if you glanced at them on accident. There will be an "additional" fee, called an endorsement, for separate species like birds of prey. Extra $5 here and $10 there...

tic answer, sort of.
if they enforced that anything like WDFW enforces snagging rules, i think none of us have anything to worry about.


No doubt Big Foot will be put onto the endangered species list, all hunting will be closed until their population recovers to pristine levels, and this will make safer viewing opportunities for our favorite commissioner since bigfoot will become less afraid of humans.
