Message: <blockquote data-quote="Retired Educator" data-source="post: 125159" data-attributes="member: 3373">Can't argue your points. I do worry when I hear the term "getting legislators involved". My experience with legislators is that when they start making fish and game decisions no good usually comes from their group. Don't agree with everything the game and fish does but I trust their biologists way more than a legislators ideas of what's good for the wildlife of this state. Too many emotions get involved, not sound biologic data.Many people think the game and fish only wants the license fees, but sound reason should suggest the more they take care of the game the more licenses they will sell. Fishing is a case in point. Setting records in the number of fishing licenses sold because of the availability of fish throughout the state. Game and Fish got lucky with the wet cycle and the number of new lakes but they are the ones who have stocked most of them, arranged boat landings where possible and helped create public access where available. . Social Media? Not always good. Social media is what got the spear hunter in Canada all the negative press. It was also mostly responsible for the great lion hunter in Africa getting the death threats. Won't argue that he didn't use some common sense in the animal he shot but it was decided that it was legal. The end result is that social media can be useful but not always. Social media right here is responsible for useful help to lots of people, and the cause of many arguments. Arguments that used to be settled over a few beers at the local pub, thus adding to the economy.  Everything is always changing.</blockquote>
