I listened(watched) to Rinella. He went fishing with "indigenous" folks. He wore polarized glasses. He later learned that the "indigenous"folks had adopted those glasses. Seems the old ways are great, until better shows up.
It's a wrongheaded assumption to treat one group of humans, as...
No.
I actually like 80-90% of what. BHA does and tries to do. To the point of losing a ranch to hunt on for wearing a BHA hat, to losing business over them being open to Patagonia.
I don't like the politics steering them in directions opposed to their own mission.
Annoying is knowing the personal politics of BHA leadership, knowing they very openly advocate for party and candidate, then listening and reading the fanboys try to look past the elephant in the room, and try to spin and rewrite history.
It's no well hidden secret which way the long time and...
You obviously don't care. 🙄 Trust me, I made the list of dudes who would wade in and try to protect "the precious". Alphabetically, you were #1.
But I agree, the point got made.
The next massive solar farm eating up thousands of public acres, I'll simply post BHA Mission Statement.👍
Too...
They supported the bill BEFORE it was passed.
BEFORE, as in prior to.
So YUP, they had every opportunity to stay neutral.
And I didn't hit them on weak regs, you did.
I congratulated them on their hypocrisy.
BEFORE IT PASSED.
Do you want a list of every hunting, fishing, outdoors group...
In and out, is pretty overrated. Just a symbol of the infilltration of the west coast😉
You got lucky. Utah inversions are pretty infamous.
Hurrying to get to Wyoming and Idaho for Powerball😁
So, their wasn't a third choice?
Neutrality?
Shut up?
Take off the blue jersey?
When asked, refer to the Mission Statement?
They were forced to publically support a bill?
They sure don't seem to mind keeping their mouths shut on predators. They are a hunting group, right?
Neutral...
When the elk foundation starts advocating for not having elk
Or DU advocating to not have water
Or SFW advocating against gov welfare you'd have a point
Want to guess the political persuasion of Central Utah?
But thanks for making the point. Folks don't want this in their yards.
So it gets stuck in rural wherever. And not surprisingly, the first, was in red Utah, in a red county. Don't want to stir up fault Sunny places like Arizona or...
If only there was a public land, hunting and fishing group that spent time pushing for it as a way to gain the most energy, for the smallest footprint.
Or, keeping public lands in public hands.
But alas, the party in power is not pro nuke, so, best not rattle any cages😉
