Idaho BHA and Idaho Wildlife Federation have posted a petition regarding Auction Tags. This will get submitted to the Idaho Legislature and the Idaho Fish & Game Commission. If you oppose auction tags, this is one easy way to help make your voice heard. Feel free to share, including to non-resident hunters. It is my understanding that Auction Tags would come out of the non-resident pool. https://secure.everyaction.com/chrq-nnJgEe45AT4GYfqKQ2

Why doesn't Sayer, Bair, and their cronies just move south and settle in the corrupt state of Utah with the Don!

Because of the petition that Josh shared, the Idaho State Journal ran a piece on the petition and interviewed him as well. Looks like our voices are finally being heard! http://www.idahostatejournal.com/ou...cle_aad38f09-a04e-5bc8-858a-2ff6ca9018c4.html

Yep, if people let this die a slow death, it will. If people continue to hold WSF feet to the fire something will have to be done. I just received my renewal notice two days ago and will be writing an email stating my position.

I'm being told the WSF board thinks that only a few vocal guys in Idaho have a problem with this. It would be nice if they were proven wrong.

Along with the article I posted earlier, my open letter to Doug Sayer has been posted online on the Idaho State Journal. I noticed there was another letter penned shortly after this got started. Even if the WSF thinks that just a small group of hunters in Idaho are having an issue with this, maybe this forum will help spread the word to members in other states.

First order of discussion was if non-members could attend the board meeting.
A bit of discussion, several did not want Jon-members attending the meeting.
A review of the bylaws appears to not have an exclusion to non-members.

First observation is that presence of guests is a bit out of the norm. And may not be appreciated.

The Board members started expressing the views on what HS became a Sayer vs Bryan issue.
Quite a bit of desire that the issue should be swept under and away.

Meeting is going to be centered around Bryans positions.
Board has pressure to have Bryan lose his board membership.

Bryan keeps trying to bring it to an Integrity and Honesty thing.
Appears to me there are personal agendas at play, opposing Bryan.

Was an attempt to make Bryan apologize to national board or Bryan would be removed. Bryan indicated he would not apologize.
The motion was made, it died as not a valid motion to make.
The effort died. Appears Bryan to remain on the board.
Another motion was made to review bylaws to deal with future cases of board members criticizing in public.
The meeting was definitely about Bryans Facebook communications and social media, and not about Doug Sayers behavior.
Props to Bryan for holding his ground and integrity.
Meeting then turned to other issues.
This group has definitely changed since I was involved 20 years ago.

Wow. A bad look for an organization that needs trust. And donations. And volunteers. Good luck with the 1%ers. Maybe can merge with that lovely Utah cancer of an organization.
