We all knew you were a Dem, but now you’re showing us that you’ve gone full libtard. I know a white dude who scored well on his MCAT test but didn’t get a shot at Med school because he wasn’t a minority. If he was a woman or minority and had those scores he could have written his own ticket (and watched as some did). Instead he had to wait it out and take the test 2 more times over 3 yrs to get in. At the end of the day who do you want as your physician, pilot, train conductor, attorney, police officer, fireman…the most qualified for the job or the one who checks the right box to make them a more “diverse” candidate. Don’t answer-we know the left wing company line.
NR elk tags in WY shouldn’t be priced at affordability based on the pay of a minimum wage worker. If they can get 2k for them I guess that’s capitalism in action. If it’s a priority in life for someone then I am sure they have the ability to make it happen.
I don't believe your story...its always someone's friend that uses that as an excuse because they didn't make the cut. So predictable.
Nearly as predictable as being labeled a left wing libtard because you happen to care about someone else other than yourself. Or pointing out that the US isn't, in fact, number 1 in many categories that are important to the Citizens.
As to the price of an elk tag, if we're going to go full capitalism then why not just start auctioning off all NR tags to the highest bidder?
I contend that the NAM needs to be a consideration, in particular if we're going to go around waving that big giant foam #1 hand about how its the best wildlife management system in the world. You either adhere to the tenets of that model, one of which is to keep wildlife accessible to all, or you toss it out the window and go full on capitalism. We can't pretend that the NAM model matters, while defying the tenets...its pure hypocrisy.
IMO, the cost of a license should reflect the costs of operating the GF department and on the cost of proper management. Don't forget, wildlife is a public trust asset, not a private affair to maximize profit. Prices should not be increased as a way to make sure Sy Gilliland and Lee Livingston have clients. Clients that they don't even have to work to get.
But, I guess since I'm a left wing libtard, who happens to be able to afford hunting anything I want, anywhere I choose to go, I should just worry myself with me.
Things like this are huge advantage to me personally. Maybe you're right, why worry about anyone else, it makes things easier for me.
