Message: <blockquote data-quote="BrockW" data-source="post: 432716" data-attributes="member: 5910">I don’t think you speak for “we as nd hunters”. I think, out of 100k hunters give or take in this state, there’s a small subset of very vocal bullies that are driving this effort, and some of the Ag community is happy to leverage that anger against the GF. I say bullies because that’s all they are. They don’t have a good argument, so they resort to conspiracy theories, ad hominem attacks, and personal attacks. That’s why they block everyone who disagrees with them.But I didn’t buy into anything. I’m a fact oriented person. When this issue first popped up, I went and gathered as much information as I could. Talked to every veterinarian, researcher, big game biologist that I could. Dozens and dozens of folks around the country, even in Canada. I sought out the folks Dusty referenced in his claims and talked directly to those folks. I found the researchers whose work he (incorrectly) cited, and called them too.I didn’t just call em up and ask them for the script. I asked them legitimate questions, I asked them to show me the evidence. Explain the research to me, in detail. If I would’ve found anything that indicated to me there was something fishy going on, that this was a conspiracy, or a nonissue, there’s no way I would’ve dealt with all this BS for the last 2 years. I might’ve even been on your side.Instead, I went looking and I found the exact opposite of something fishy or a nonissue. I found consistent answers, consistent research backed up by data and verifiable evidence. I found evidence that supports what these scientists have been telling us. And I’m not going to just sit by and watch selfish interests damage our public resources for the benefit of a few. I’m going to follow the facts and the evidence and do right by those resources.</blockquote>
