Maybe, maybe not. Just thought filming that bull as it died for that long was unnecessary. mtmuleyHe clearly was not shooting an ultra mag.
Yah another follow up or two wouldn't have hurt anything.Maybe, maybe not. Just thought filming that bull as it died for that long was unnecessary. mtmuley
Thank you.There’s a myth that throwing huge amounts of $$$$ at conservation through a tiny # of stakeholders is somehow good for species, habitat, and the future of hunting. It’s not. It’s a little fig leaf covering the creep of Europization and monetization of hunting, where only those with deep pockets get to participate.
I would rate this as one of the best statements I have ever read on Hunt talk.There’s a myth that throwing huge amounts of $$$$ at conservation through a tiny # of stakeholders is somehow good for species, habitat, and the future of hunting. It’s not. It’s a little fig leaf covering the creep of Europization and monetization of hunting, where only those with deep pockets get to participate.

Preservation of NA hunting legacy needs to focus on things like promotion of volunteering in conservation, everyone gets a chance at coveted tags, elimination of PP and squared/cubed schemes that ensure coming generations can’t hunt certain areas and species, public access, landowner partnerships, broadening hunter recruitment, habitat improvement, effective population management of species, and getting rid of all auction and VIP tags.
Thank you.
When the super wealthy buy up all the private ranches, and the public land is transferred so it can be sold, they won't have to worry about the petty bother of paying for auction tags.From your stance here, would I be correct in saying you don’t believe that the Arizona Habitat Partnership Committee does any good at all for Arizona big game habitat and species? RMEF raffled off a Wyoming governors tag this year, and I’m a pretty big fan of what they do every year for access and elk habitat. It is a myth that these dollars help in any way, if I read your statement correctly.
I agree with you that the monetization of hunting is happening, and I don’t like it. I am not now, nor will I likely ever be among the folks who can afford these types of experiences (come on powerball) but it isn’t really my cup of tea anyway.
There seem to be more people vocal about the cause of NA conservation now than ever before, and that is owed in part to many of the awesome role models whose content has helped spread the vigor for the defense of our public land. I think you are right that this is likely the most important and effective way to strengthen the NA conservation model, but I don’t think it’s fair to completely discount some of the good that can come from these tags.

And it's a slippery slope argument to justify selling to the highest bidder because you did some good with the money.and it’s a slippery slope argument to just link the 2 of them together like that.

Always fun to see where people are from and what their opinions are.
I was talking about the MT guys.Not sure how that’s relevant. I live in Utah but I have an interest in the preservation of hunting throughout the West since it’s something myself and many others love to do in a wide variety of states and areas

If you are trying to imply this is acceptable simply because it's an extremely limited number of tags (whatever is acceptable in YOUR eyes), that would be a perfect example of self serving justification.Edit: if you are trying to imply that this will lead to all tags going to the highest bidder, that would be a perfect example of the slippery slope logical fallacy

I do. I can agree to disagree. Your mind isn't likely to change from this conversation.I don’t have an issue with the few tags that get sold,
Do you advocate for one price for all..no R or NR disparity?I do. I can agree to disagree. Your mind isn't likely to change from this conversation.
