Obviously we are all passionate about what we believe in and for that I am grateful.
As with anything there is always many ways to get to a destination. Some are quicker then others but harder, and others seem to be simpler but take much longer. It does not make any of them more right or wrong.
It is comforting to know that we at least can still voice our opinions in public and not be beaten, fined, jailed or shot for it.
Regardless of today's or any other meetings outcome we all still want to fix our deer herds.
So my apology goes out not because I disagree with you but because I called names or took personal shots at some of you.
That was unprofessional and definitely not warranted by me.
This system is not perfect and the way to restore a healthy deer herd is not exact.
I simply have some resources I am trying to utilize to fix a problem we all face (declining deer herd) and if I am guilty of something it is guilty for wanting my kids to have the opportunity to hunt. So yes, I am selfish in that way.
Whatever passes today in the board meeting has no impact really on MY ability to hunt but it does on thousands of others and my kids.
I sat through the information meeting yesterday and herd 2 things over and over and over by the entire wildlife board, every DWr employee that made a presentation and by the DWR director himself.
The common thing they all said is 1, we need more deer and 2 we need more money to get more deer.
So that my fellow MM members leads me to this. How is the DWR going to get more money when we are in the worst financial crises in my lifetime? Why would the Legislature give more money to the DWR when they themselves are suggesting to cut there budget by up words of 1 million dollars when biologically it is not needed?
Are all of us ready to make up the million? Do you even trust that if you gave the DWR a million they would spend it wisely?
Most of you on here don't even believe in their counts or study's or polls so why would you trust them with raising your license fee?
These are real questions I would like answered.
I will be at the meeting all day today and would hope any of you that can make it would. You wont hear me harping on elk or pushing my agenda today. Those battles I will fight in a different format.
Today you will hear 1 man representing himself and his kids asking the board not to shut out the future generations.
