They came from you, me, them, they, theirs. They came from your kids, grandkids, parents, brothers, sisters. they came from your friends, your family and strangers. They came from everyone who lives in utah. They are stolen from us every year. For large private gain and minimal public return. A guzzler here, a seeding after a fire there. A little of this, some of that. Just enough to show their “efforts”, while squirreling away most of it to conserve and preserve private bank accounts. All in the name of wildlife and wildland conservation. They’ve lied to us since day 1 and they continue to do so. Our deer herds are in the chitter, except for their few private preserves designed for huge benefit. Our elk herds are almost as bad, again, except for a few choice areas that most peasants will never get to hunt. But their favorite check writers hunt them every year. Let’s not even get into the OIL species! But at least we’ve got our great pen raised pheasant shoot every year that they “give” to us. What a generous contribution ? there’s been people get involved with $FW that jump out of that organization as fast as they could, because they couldn’t live with the corruption. A lot of money and opportunities have been stolen from the public of utah over the years. Look at what they’ve taken compared to what they’ve given. There’s a lot more take than give, especially if you look at it from an experience and memory point of view that you may (or may not) have had if they hadn’t been taking 200+ permits every year. I guarantee some of you who are in favor of it would have gotten one of those permits through the regular draw. But good thing we gave them to the celebs and non res! That’ll definitely keep the cash coming in the future
