In my opinion sending a letter is not going to make any changes. I think that might work is if we all Hunters stick together and boycott hunting in this state for one year. That way when the funding for their wages drop and they may think about the question in hand.
I wish we could!
Like we could get ANY group in this country could stick together like that. I wasn't thinkingthe letter would change anything- but I want to know WHAT they were basing thier decisions on. After what,13-15 years of spike only there are still not enough numbers that they have to lower the numbers of available permits? SOMEONE(s) are not doing thier job! Is it poaching? There is a heavy farmworking presenceon the northern boundaries of this area. Is it encroaching development? What is it?
My guess is they will try to blame it on human pressure such as snowmobile and ATV use so they can kill two birds with one stone and justify closing More of the roads up there.
