WY HB286

They ought to just hire you, fire the rest, and we'd be good to go.

No. I think game commissioners should write quotas and seasons. Not an individual person.

How about you and BHA? Who do you think should write game quotas and seasons?

I think you should, you're an expert on everything. Can read between the lines, walk on water and kill 15-29 lions a year with your buddies.

I bow down...

Just so that we're all clear on this: Is it the official position of BHA that state legislatures should write game seasons and quotas instead of commissioners...or just you?

It's incredible to me that hunters still point to lions as the culprit for declining mule deer populations when WY has winter kills with 30-50% doe mortality and 100% fawn mortality in recent years.

If lions weren't the issue when deer populations were better and lion quotas existed, then exterminating them won't solve the winterkill problem.

If your feet are cold because you aren't wearing boots, putting on an extra pair of gloves won't solve the problem.

When have the majority of hunters not blamed predators, even when studies and best available data suggest otherwise? Its easy, convenient, and does a good job of ruining hunter credibility with other stakeholder groups.
