Dillon-
The only thing you missed while not being able to attend the RAC was a lot of voices AGAINST choosing a region.
The WB should take your advise on not wanting instant changes because of a few barks. Don't you think they should look at facts and numbers before making huge decisions? I wish they would.
I'm damn sure complaining- and I went to more than one RAC on the subject.
But you are right, I must not understand how the RAC process works. I see it as smoke and mirrors, have them so the public feels as if they have input. When in actuality, the WB passes what they want, based on personal opinions.
Side note- I have seen some ideas passed from average joes- but I have seen more than enough personal agendas pass with flying colors not based on facts/ data, and with zero public support!
But if you knew what you were talking about you would know that the regional change was not based on animal populations in the southern region- it was because of "overcrowding issues"
As far as time being able to tell- Just give till the rifle hunt starts and 15,000 hunters hit the southern hills.
