Well. In the spirit of letting it burn.
Wade is the representation of what has destroyed Utah hunting.
A corporate buisness model in which the operators contribute zero to the wildlife that they extract huge profit from. Wade will clear high 6 or low 7 figures this year, a $10k fine is a write off, his mini me will simply run things for a bit until the ban ends. The state, won't put him out of business no matter what law he breaks. And he's not alone in that buisness model, he's just the most blatant.
The wildlife is the product that brings the revenue yet in Utah we've allowed buisnesses to not just exist on an even playing field with the rest of us, but to dominate us, to exploit the resource to an unbelievable level.
Semi loads of cams, semi loads of bait, 365 day harassment, FLIR, paid informants, etc, etc, etc.
But that wasn't enough. It wasn't/isn't enough that corporate interests who contribute nothing to the resource push all the boundaries, they willfully and knowingly break the law and they do it knowing that we are weak in Utah when it comes to wildlife law.
And why? What has Wade, or any other outfitter contributed to the resource? The hunter pays the freight. The hunter writes those big checks. The outfitter leaches off the resource.
One simply needs to look at the list of currently operating outfitters/guides and look at how many have faced charges or been charged to see it's not a one off with Wade, it's the entire industry.
We could outlaw outfitting on public land in Utah tomorrow, doing so would only improve hunting.
