The truth is everyone has a solution but you can't get three people to agree on the same one. Until there is a realistic, solid management plan with thousands of sportsman united and on board, enough money raised to be heard and attorneys hired to sue the state, we will never force their hand into real action. I don't see any other way this can happen.
Does anyone remember prop 5(I'm thinking it was five but I may be wrong) that was passed years ago. It stated that hunting management, laws and rules could only be based on sound biological science. This was to prevent tree-huggers from voting out trapping, hound hunting etc. that was being done in other states. Wildlife to the highest bidder is not sound biological science.
I think it would be easy to prove that the state is working off false data, i.e. animal counts, etc., and not sound scientific data which goes against state law. Managing wildlife for money and special interest groups is also not a sound scientific method of management. Until there is enough unity among the common sportsman, we will never be able to go toe to toe with SFW and greedy politicians. Hunting is a cash cow and they know it. Too many have weaseled their way into riches at the cost of a public resource.
Anyone who has ever been to a RAC meeting before, knows just what a farce public input is. The common sportsman will never have a say in Utah and never be listened to until the state is legally forced to listen and to act. The swamp needs draining and Utah herds need help. Special interests and big dollar hunting must go!
