WGFD's financial status

[wybighorn]

I was at a meeting last night where three members of the WGFD presented options to fund the department.

I would highly suggest that ANYONE who has an interest in Wyoming Wildlife (resident, non-resident, hunter, angler, bird watcher, etc.) tune in to the public meeting tonight at 7pm. You can watch online via the internet or at any regional offices.

Also be sure to post any and all comments to the WGFD! I think that they will accept comments up to Oct. 24 (I'm not totally sure on the final date).

Personally, I was disheartened by what I heard. I understand their predicament and actually agreed with some of what they said but I think it is important that everyone voice their opinion (whether you agree or disagree). I came away from that meeting feeling like we are headed toward managing money instead of wildlife.

Anyway, I know lots of people have a lot to say so please make sure that the G&F hears it. Again whether you agree or disagree... please make sure your voice is heard.

I sure hope Wyoming doesn't go down the same path Oregon went down; Managing money instead of game.
