Ditto on your opening paragraph.
The WB let's never forget is owned by a special interest group. They aren't short sighted, they come from a org that fully supports the idea of the european model. The Don is on record.
It's an attitude of hunting as a revenue source. Not as a tradition. Not as a way of life. It's simply about clients, bookabke hunts, etc.
They care about the tiny little LE islands. They care about CWMU.
The sooner your other 2 boys quit, the better. Unless they have some money, then they do.
Did CWMU tag buyers get a 5 year wait? Huh, wonder why?
From the party of HUNTIN, FISHIN, PUBLIC LAND.
