I read theses posts, I read about $fw, BGF, THE DON, etc, etc. In a lot of these posts the general theme seems to come down to whether or not you put your trust in some group/person that claims salvation, yet we never challenge or check for results.
This seems to be a Utah issue. The attitude of Texas seems to be "f you", the states around us seem to be very independent in thought and actions. So, AND I AM NOT BASHING, my question is why is Utah so easily duped? Is it the Mormon influence? And AGAIN, I am pro a lot of mormon culture(self sufficiency, family, etc) but there does seem to be a HUGE blind spot for this kind of activity. Not just in wildlife, but with scams of all sort, Utah seems to be screwed over and over.
I ask, because I think in order to ACTUALLY accomplish what we want; more deer, less wolves, more access, etc, it seems that we have to overcome this blind faith tendency, and actually DEMAND RESULTS or find someone/something/ else to accomplish what we want. Being able to do so I believe means knowing WHY we fall in line so easily, and figuring out ways to stop this.
