Default RE: Who is for / against USO?

I think you missed some of the logic here. First I haven't heard of another outfitter who himself and other employees have been indicted for using aircraft to illegally take elk for their customers. Second no other outfitter was dumb enough or had the resources to sue several states to change how they manage game. Outfitting should be a local business and I am fine with Arizona guides picking up all the USO business. You underestimate the power of the dollar. This boycott will impact due to hunters changing their buying habits. I spend around $7000 a year on hunting and fishing. If there was no other choice but USO sposors products you would be correct but there are many camo companies, muzzleloader companies etc. etc. The hostility is incredible from hunters here and I truly believe that USO will be pushed out by the state legislature and their hunters will be harrassed to no end at their camps this fall. It isn't about 10% of non-res tags, it's about a lottery with non-res being equal to res in the draw. Non-res theoretically could get more than 50% of the tags based on gambling odds. It's a war to us and we ain't some bunch of huggers.
