All you can do is get involved.

One thing that most don't do though is they get involved in politics which is great and all but they don't get involved in the States wildlife commission. Most of these commissions are setup and do have public meetings where they hear from people, members from communities can be elected to advisory boards which could be you if you learn the process and show you can be an asset. Most of the top personnel are governor appointed. You gotta learn this side as this is the side that is directly related to your hunting future. There will be state regulatory groups and then there will be federally managed groups. By groups i mean species but alot of times the same group deals with multiple species.

So my advice is learn the process through and through. Get involved. Learn how to submit a petition to the regulation committee who determines new regulations on species by information provided by the advisory boards. Its a big process but if you don't get involved then you cant complain in my opinion.
