With all the hub bub goin on right now with SFW, DNR, the wasatch and quality vs. quantity, I thought i'd try and be a bit intelligent.
May a state a few things I deem as fact.
1st The current problem facing wasatch is not opportunity or quality, that is a Point of view thing. some see it one way, bess always sees it another way. ;-) The real problem facing all wasatch hunters universally is the distribution of Antlerless tags.
2nd SFW is a point of view deal, depending on your point of view SFW may be correct or they may not be correct. One side is no more right than the other side, it just depends on how you see things and what you want. To say someone is naive or otherwise inhibited is impressing your point of view on them.....both sides may or may not be wrong or right. UWC is no more correct than MDF, SFW is not better than RMEF, it all depends on your point of view......
3rd Quality vs. Quantity Again this is a Point of view thing, who am i to say that opportunists are up in the night? On the flip side what right does an opportunist have to tell a trophy hunter that he is a menace to hunting? your point of view is yours, that does not make it the correct one, however.
4th DNR I believe this to be a trust issue. Either you trust what they have to say or you don't. No longer is this a Point of View battle. hence the issues with the wasatch right now.....many people have a big trust issue with the recommendations and numbers that were presented this year, along with recommendations and numbers in years past. Causing people to form points of view.
Now my opinion is this, the numbers that the DNR presented us with this year on the wasatch are flawed. (Trust issue) They will negatively affect all hunters for years to come on this unit. (P.o.V) The state of Utah is not in a position to offer more opportunity for deer. (P.o.V) Due to poor management from the DNR biologists. (Trust issue)
The point of this was to try and knock it thru some thick skulls (mine included) that they are no more right than whomever it is they are blowing their top off at.
Hopefully my philosophy makes a bit of sense to anyone who takes a stab at reading this.
And believe me i'll keep on throwing my rhetoric at tree, cache, SWbuck and anyone else who says something that makes me think I'm God's gift to the world with all the answers.....what fun would it be if we didn't????
