After all 45 degrees is cold enough, why should we have to risk people to rescue daredevils hiking in the cold.

While I do not agree with the notion to charge people to hike, I do agree with charging them for their own stupidity they do it if I sink a Ford Explorer into the lake to remove it or if I sink my boat because it hurts nature, (no the Explorer was not me, and I did not sink my boat), by having these ridiculous rescues it is taking money out of F&G for other things, the rescue is important to save a life but the reasons need to be assesed and charged accordingly. Lets face it no one should have been out on Sunday, hence why they were the only ones that needed to be rescued, just like the lake or the sea, watch and listen to the weather reports, no one is above Mother Nature, no one!
