I think that is a testament to how well FWP values season setting input.

Fwp put on some pretty good graphs tonight was interesting to see

I think thats evidence that people would rather bitch about it than work on solutions

I mean they did ask what can be done to get more people in the room and involved. You can lead a horse to water you know

I’ve seen plenty of solutions offered, it falls on deaf ears

In regions 5 we are only having the one meeting in Billings we are over 120k people and 3 showed up Fwp out numbered us 3-1. If we want change we need more involvement. One idea that was mentioned to them was a partnership with the organization in the state to help spread the word of these types of meetings. I can think of 6-8 guys off this forum alone I would have like to have seen last night and they didn’t show.

Season setting throughout the last 15 years almost every thing that has been talked about at length on this site has been suggested at one point or another.

I think each region is hosting one virtual meeting also. You will miss out on the region 5 stuff, but if there's other regions you hunt it would be worthwhile getting on theirs and you can also see the statewide proposals.

Region 3 meeting is tonight in Bozeman and is available on Zoom for those interested.

2 people at the Missoula meeting tonight...me and my friend I convinced to come. While we did have good conversations with the biologists, it would have been great to see more people there. Although I did get to take a whole box of cookies home.

 

[El Jason]

Amazing….but how I remember many of them. The most attended ones I ever saw were when resident license fees were on the table.
