Muley no your not wrong. The problem we have IS the state legislature and the DWR. IF the state financed the DWR like say the skiing industry, we wouldn't be whoring out tags to raise money. For some reason, although it is first or second in the state as far as revenue producing industries, the state punks the DWR. The DWR and the state are lobbied a ton by very deep pockets. When Doyle says "I won't guide the governors tag", he isn't telling you and be, I could care less what he thinks, he is pressuring the DWR in a public forum. Don Peay lives on capitol hill and at the DWR. I can't, I have a job. You can't either. The big money interests, represented by SFW and Doyle, aren't the only ones talking, but they have the ear of those in power because they spend the most time talking. I am 38yrs old. I don't ever remember my dad, or grandpa talking about the "buisness" of hunting. I do remember 250,000 hunters, two week seasons, and every truck with a 4x4 or better in the bed. Funny how since we have got a "buisness" of hunting we have lost 160,000 hunters, a week of the season, and most of the deer, except in the areas where their is good buisness!
When they came for the road hunters I was not one so I said nothing. When they came for the oppurtunists I was not one so I said nothing. When they came for the public land hunters I was not one so I said nothing. When they came for me there was no one left to say anything!
