Well excuse the Hell out of me you cranky SOB.
Somebody needs a Snickers or to get laid or maybe a Midol.
Thanks
@BuzzH and anyone else who put any kind of effort into getting the 90/10 and Outfitter set asides voted down. Even though we don't deserve it.
I think jm77, mulecreek, and others have a right to be a bit cranky about all this chit that is going on. Those guys and others, who are in the trenches day after day deserve more credit and thanks than they'll ever get. A vast majority of the issues hunters face, they're the guys who get called first when the chit hits the fan.
They're the first to take the bull by the horns, first to tackle any issue, first to financially support issues, and do a lot of heavy lifting.
What they often get in return is a bunch of grief from other hunters, primarily of the nr variety. They listen to a bunch of grief from the legislature, the task force, governor's office, outfitters, etc. and it never ends.
No matter how much they/we do it's never enough, or at the least never good enough.
There are many times I've had them talk me off the cliff, and I've talked them off the same cliff when we've all about tossed in the towel and let someone else look out for the best interest of nr hunters, resident hunters, wildlife, habitat, etc.
I'm always humbled by the amount of time that guys like jm77, mulecreek, and others spend on behalf of all that is hunting and wildlife...many times receiving nothing but grief.
So, I don't think they should apologize for being edgy and short on patience with the critics in the cheap seats.
These last few weeks have been stressful for us having to deal with the task force, the commission, and trying to raise more money for the civil suit on corner crossing. People act like 90-10, outfitter set asides, and trying to raise $106,000 to fight for public access via corner crossing, all just appears out of thin air. I'm here to tell you it just doesn't happen without a lot of effort.
Most people don't work that hard at their day jobs, and we're all volunteers. Volunteers taking time away from our families, taking vacation days, and spending a lot of money to make things happen.
Might be worth a thunk before calling someone crabby or a grouch.
