If you remember, the F&G was indeed against this. The problem was that the anti’s and environmentalists literally flooded the high population areas with commercials advocating for the mandate. I can remember one in particular that pushed the idea as to how few of the cats were left in the wild…...

Other than problem animals, the Fish and Game has absolutely no say regarding the hunting of mountain lions! Your dissatisfaction should be directed at the voters that made lions a protected animal!

And start logging again!

I actually spoke to the biologist when she started the original doe hunts up there with 2000 tags. (she might have retired last year?). She specifically told me she was actually trying to reduce the herd population overall and with a particular goal to increase the buck to doe ratio...

The weakfish backs are not helping. Prime example of a buck having that WOW factor ( which is most important IMO) but will not score as well as you might think. In short… that’s a BIG buck…regardless of what it might score!

What I have been told....Both sentenced to 0-5 years in state Pen...(suspended). $1,000 fine, $8,000 restitution, 50 hours community service and no hunting. I would think the financial part of this is nothing compared to the fact they both now carry felony convictions and have lost their...

The defense requested a continuence in order to have time to determine if they might file a "motion to arrest judgment" and or file a "motion for a new trial." The new date is March 16th. On another note...There also appears to be charges pending in Arizona as well.

I have no idea how all this started...but I just gotta say. Accumark, as a seasoned/veteran LE officer, your training would be that you would be well versed on how to de-escalate any situation in order to come to a resolution. Again, I don't know what happened here, and I'm not taking...
