I have read through sooooooo many posts lately about the SFW, I just had a few thoughts about them, and what you guys think...
I understand that Don is stating how the "SFW" is going to basically take control of the declining deer situation and magically turn it around. My thoughts are this, are they sooo powerful in Utah that they can make those comments? Did they decide that they were running the wildlife board? Now I appreciate the fact that they want to do something, but I dont think they should be so big headed about it.
IMO if they, (and the rest of us) really want to do something, we need to look past the SFW, the DWR, and the wildlife board and go to the root cause. When it really really comes down to it, our state goverment, and Mr. Herbert really need to be held accountable for whats going on.
Speaking in monetary terms, and lets face it thats all our state legislators speak, The hunting and fishing industry is a HUGE asset to the state given the amount of tax money that it generates every year. If our state legislators knew that the sportsmen were absolutely fed up with the B.S. going on and maybe, just maybe there would be no revenue from tags next year to increase profits into the general fund that they would stand right up and listen. If we really really want to change our deer heard situation we need to either flood the governer with calls and letters, not just from sfw but ALL of us, or we need to vote somebody in that can say that it is part of his or hers agenda to change the situation. And as for our state legislators? well there in the same boat, they dont put it on their agenda.... vote em out! Next thing we need to fight is putting all the money generated from tags etc into the general fund. Its wrong and you and I know it.
As for the SFW, I have dirt on you guys, thank god for the FOIA (freedom of Information Act)I have your finacials, tax statements, money allotments, letters to the state asking for grants to fund your advertising costs for the sportsmans expo, your letter to the state applying for the 200 tags along with the Mule Deer Foundation, and a whole bunch of stuff that I am sure they would crap if I had. The heads of that organization are pretty messed up including you DON! If you guys really want to help, then do it for the right reasons, not for money, tags, etc. Do if for the people and the right to hunt.
