I’m packing my stuff right now to go start squatting

I’m supportive of mandatory reporting. Not sure if I like that it includes providing one bonus point to all hunters who report.

That’s going to make draw odds even more diluted.

Agreed, but overall I think its a good bill.

Wait - so youre telling me we shouldnt be trading worse draw odds for nothing? What about the talk "building a bridge" or "providing an incentive" for folks consuming the resource to do the right thing?

At least its just a deer/elk point, i guess. At a minimum - it should be an extra point for sale not for free. Id prefer they not let people who fail to complete it not apply for a permit.

So here is the deal I’ve had a couple people message me asking wtf you’re even talking about. 635 went down when I had my head in the sand and I have absolutely no idea what it’s about. So explain this to me like I’m 5 and sell me on why it’s a bad idea. You sell me on it and I’ll send some text today to try and help your cause

Snarkiness aside, I guess “for nothing” is subject to interpretation.


Something tells me that the joust is more important than the point on this issue so take my response in like manner.

Ya know the worst part about the internet? Snark gots a lot of context missing!

The joust was meant in good fun, as all have been, @Gerald Martin probably the worst part about the internet is my snarks not always perceived the way its meant.

I appreciate all that you do and have done for wildlife, even when i vehemently disagree.

I'll try to make a short summary of why, in a concise non-rant. Gonna take me a minute since this fires me up a bit.

Snarks I understand. It’s why I replied in kind…
