They say that they use sound wildlife management decisions based on what their experts recommend,yet all I see are dollar signs behind these recommendations.
You can't even count that as a factual statement because of the following facts:
#1. Agency biologists recommended 45 elk permits to allow the herd to grow. BOCs went against biologists advice and allocated 59.
#2. Biologists recommended not opening up a grouse study area on SGL 176, and dang if it wasn't opened up to hunters anyhow.
#3. Biologists recommended not adding an extra week of fall turkey hunting in one WMU, and dang if the extra week wasn't added anyhow.
So, basing my opinion on the above facts, along with the deer program, the crossbow vote, the Governors tag, and a host of other remarkable notations that I've noticed about a few of the BOC snakes, I believe it is time to clean house. We've been flim flammed.
