BHA is a good org. The green decoys thing has been floating around for a few years, it's BS.
I didn't attend the show but I did get to see the statement issued by the MtOps guys that basically said they were the ones responsible for the PLT politicians from Utah taking the stage and they were...

Pretty smooth of Sayer. Most of us figured SFW was behind the tag grab only to find out the Chairman of the Wild Sheep Foundation was pulling the puppet strings on legislators and the Governor the whole time. Wait how many Idaho sheep Governor tags has Sayer bought...

No it doesn't change anything with outfitters. The only changes to the law with this bill are in section (9). All removed wording has a line through it and all new wording is underlined. A few small changes and BOOM the public and commission have no say in it.
Unfortunately it is still very much a problem and the commissions decision didn't change anything.
