I want to thank everyone who has e-mailed and /or talked to their RAC members concerning the permit increases. It has been pretty overwhelming. As a RAC member I stand with all of you on this issue. While there may be a few places that need some attention due to agricultural depredation, they can be dealt with individually. I believe that the overall increase in permit numbers is not needed yet. Many of the units are not at the population objectives yet. I believe that we still need to wait at least a couple more years to start increasing permit numbers on most units.
