Republican Governor and Legislature to Kill Big Horn Sheep to Protect Range Maggots

[Oak]

From BHR's link:

A new bill was introduced Friday that gives Fish and Game officials 120 days to develop a plan to keep bighorns away from domestic sheep.

Lookee what I found in the new bill:

(3) Outfitters Setaside.

When the commission establishes a limit as to the number of nonresident deer tags and nonresident elk tags, it shall set aside annually a maximum of twentyfive percent (25%) of the nonresident deer tag and nonresident elk tag limit. The setaside tags shall be sold pursuant to commission rule, only to persons that have entered into an agreement for that year to utilize the services of an outfitter licensed pursuant to chapter 21, title 36, Idaho Code.

In order for a person to purchase any setaside nonresident deer tag or nonresident elk tag, that person’s outfitter must submit an application with the proper fees as required by the director. If any nonresident deer tags or nonresident elk tags set aside pursuant to this subsection are unsold by July 1 of the year in which they were set aside, they may be sold by the department to the general public who are nonresidents. The commission may promulgate all necessary rules to implement the provisions of this subsection.

Well, it looks like Jose is going to have to give range maggot bashing a break, and start bashing outfitters.
