I do think there could have been some sort of compromise here if level heads had sat down together and mutually worked on a bill that had real benefits (like access and habitat programs) for DIY hunters in exchange for a small, modest set aside of tags for outfitters. That is not what happened and MOGA won this round, but the way they did it I strongly believe is going to backfire. These outfitters wanted some certainty, and I think the momentum is going to shift and the next initiative needs to hammer them. So there will not be certainty for their business...the tag allocations will continue to be jerked around and ideally the initiative will be punitive towards them for their behavior in this session. I look forward to contributing time or money to any organized effort to move an initiative forward.
