John Bair posted this.... It was about Sage Grouse for context.
"It saddens me greatly to see sportsmen all fired up to fight each other, but then be totally unwilling to make a hard stand with those trying to win the big fights against the antis. If these groups win on the sage grouse issue, it will have a HUGE impact on our Utah hunting, ranching, mining, oil and gas industries. This could well be the biggest threat to our way of life EVER. If sportsman would fight FOR hunting as hard as they fight OVER hunting, we would crush these antis."
Thinking bout this for a little bit I am a little disturbed. John is a Great Guy, but my thoughts are a tad different. If we weren't having to fight transparency issues by SFW, MDF, and UDWR wouldn't we all be that much better off?
My thought process is to get our "Hunting" House in order before getting to the Anti's. Hard to fight two battle lines if there is corruption from a large group using public tags, for "Non Disclosed" deeds.
