This is outstanding! Where do I sign? We got the hunting on game farms outlawed, we can do this.

Great move to protect the ability of future generations to hunt on the King's land. Hope you all get it passed. Good luck and prepare for the Farm Bureau to fight it hard. Will be interested to see how the RMEF and SFW go after this one.

Screw the farm bureau, and the livestock industry. This originated from the outfitters, they wanted a secure industry. So they claimed they would police themselves. Didn't happen. Also the safe valve was to be price. If one year they sold 10,000 tags 5000 over the intended number then the price was to go up until it averaged the 5000 a year. So the next year the price would be so high as only say 2500 would be sold. Then the next year only 2500 and so on until it averaged the 5000 a year. This system oversold tags every year since the beginning. We have an ever growing outfitter industry selling more that 40,000 + tags in a state that intended to sell only 17,000. Time to pull the welfare check. We've run out of animals. The resource can't take it any more.

That is pathetic! Good luck and win the war.

It would be nice, but just a prediction that the price will go up as proposed, and the Outfitter tag will stay the same

If it is an initiative, and it gathers enough signatures, it get voted on as-is. No compromises like those that occur in the legislative process.
