LAST EDITED ON Feb-06-05 AT 11:58AM (MST)[p] Here is what I don't get... You guys are all saying "yea I think it's not fair that the nonres are taking the hit on the convention tags but.." if you guys don't think it is fair then why don't you speak up to SFW? This convention is a long way off and things can be changed. I swear, if you guys hunt any other state but your own, and sit and think this crap is a good thing then I pray everyone of you never has a son that want to hunt. And I also pray you never draw a tag in any state but your own.
You say it's wrong but still do nothing? C?mon Founder, grow a set. You?re taking the easy way out. This can be changed if we all strap on a set and let the wildlife Orgs know we will not stand for this gross commercialization of our sport.
There is a lot of other ways for money to be raised, but these guys didn't ask for our input. That alone should scare the crap out of you!! They are no longer voicing the sportsman, just themselves. time to wake up fellas
lets draw tags the old fashion way even if it cost more, lets not do it by jumping through hoops and let the rich guys buy their way in the front of the line.
The odds for most of here drawing a tag will SUCK at this thing. But if your Karl Malone and can afford to drop 5$ on every single hunt it wont be as bad. There are a lot of rich guys who can do this, and step in line in front of all of us who waited to get bonus points through the years.
Don Peay will ignore your emails, and send the same canned response as the few other guys I talked to. He sidesteps and legitimate question, he only answers here to guys he knows on a first name basis. You want this guy being the "Don of wildlife"
Not for me, not in any state. When you start to make decisions without input of the guys you are supposed to be representing you no longer are legit in my book, and become nothing more than a crooked politician. We all know who crooked politicians look out for now don't we?
As far as Zim boycott goes? If he leaves here, a lot of fun will be lost as well, might as well boycott Cass and Old Oregon too, this place will be real fun then. Zim has passion, at least respect him for that. We all have our opinions I guess.
