Well. Here it is Saturday. One day after the catastrophic meltdown.
What did we learn.
1. Despite drawing names Tues., and having a year, plus 3 days, and all those $3.75 admin "donations", $FW failed. Miserably.
I hope you guys didn't get your data exposed, but the screen shots from their site would make me nervous.
2. $300k deer tags for years to save AI. Yet when the sheep are terminated for disease, and it's time to restock, KUIU pays the bill.
3. Did anyone, ANYONE, ANYONE, notice that despite the $$$ you all handed $fw in "Administration costs", THE DWR INFORMED GUYS LAST NIGHT?
So, the DWR hands out 200 welfare tags. The DWR does the advertising. The DWR MANS the booths at the expo. AND NOW the DWR has to be the ones revealing results last night? And for that, $fw pockets 2/3 of the money.
I know some guys get blinded by the lotto, so let me summarize.
THE DWR SUPPLIED THE TAGS, ADMINISTERED THE DRAWING, DISTRIBUTED THE RESULTS.
AND $FW got paid.
4. Go back a re read #3. SLOWLY.
I know they have the contract. I know.
But, can we NOW just be honest.
This whole fiasco is a revenue generator for a special interest group on the backs of YOUR wildlife.
You PAID TWICE. Once to the DWR who administered the tags and results. And once to $fw. Who blew smoke up your butt.
I'm glad guys enjoyed the expo. But a party and trade show in February paid for by selling wildlife, ISNT CONSERVATION. It isn't what we were sold. It's just what it is, a party.
