The thing I don't get is I pay over $4k a year in RE taxes in NH (more than I pay in MA) yet I'm a NON-RESIDENT when buying my fishing license. To me, that's sort of an unnecessary slap in the face to all us seasonal property owners.

And since I'm venting, would it kill a Policeman to spend some time on Scenic Dr/Belknap Pt Rd in Gilford. It's a beautiful road that I would guess at least hundreds use a week in the summer for biking/running/walking. I swear I'm almost hit 3 times a summer by some speeding driver yet I rarely ever see the police try to stop speeders. Where else in the town is more important for them to sit in between calls?

Lastly, I emailed the chief of Gilford Police two years ago asking if I should take any precautions before taking my family hiking in the fall (i.e. around hunting season). His reply . . . "I don't know, I don't hunt." Maybe I'm being too critical but I was disappointed with that reply.
