[QUOTE="Red Sparky, post: 1030553, member: 37223"] Yeah they get their marching orders from the Game Commission. You know who appoints the game commission. I have been to the meetings and put my input on the web site as others have but they still do what they want. It is not about revenue or there would be more licenses and more out of state hunters and tag fees would go up. Nothing against the field officers as I know quite a few and they are all great. Look at the commissioners that have had to resign for not following the game laws. I am elk hunting today where my father deer hunted in the 60's. He said back then elk in that area were unheard of. Before the draw system you could go deer hunting with over the counter tags. Now I put in for units where the odds to get a tag are fairly good but the chances for taking an animal are low. I just worry about future generations being able to hunt. That is also taking place in the schools. When I was growing up back in the 70's and 80's if I was going hunting my teachers would give me my homework before I left and I would do school work by lantern light out in the woods. A note from my parents and my absent was excused. Now my daughters have to make up all their school work when they get back and their absent is not excused. How can parents take their kids out of school for 9 days, if you were to stay out the whole hunt period, under those conditions? So to me these regs are anti-family hunting even with all their hype about getting kids outdoors. [/QUOTE]
