Wagges Report post Posted Tuesday at 11:15 PM Hunters are being eliminated, little by little, and your Arizona Game and Fish Department is assisting in our demise. They have already done such a fabulous job with the management of Burros and Horses and let's not forget the ATV/UTV disaster. I have lived here for 58 years, and I cannot believe the direction they have gone. They follow the funding first. All the money we put in for special drawing to help wildlife, does that even seem relevant now? They used our funds against us-seriously!! To think that Arizona Game and Fish Department actually cross-motioned for summary judgment. Law enforcement is not GAME MANAGEMENT. heck, when the last time you saw an officer in the field. In most cases they are the endangered species, just like your WILDLIFE. This is just my opinion, I am very curious of true hunters opinions. I will not comment any more, it will just piss me off more than I already am 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted Wednesday at 05:09 AM Here is a quick summary, a few eco-litigation organizations (center for biological diversity, Grand Canyon wolf lovers, blah blah blah) sued to try and change the rules for wolf management in AZ and NM that would have made it much tougher to delist and impose more restrictions / protections that supposedly benefit the wolves. The court ruled in favor of the states and did not change the rules / laws increase protections. This is a good thing. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZbowhntr Report post Posted Wednesday at 02:00 PM The last paragraph of the article says who the plaintiffs where so it is pretty easy to see that this was a good thing. Anytime the Center for Biological Diversity and all the other nuts are mentioned it is not good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will not comment any more, it will just piss me off more than I already am I think this was a quasi win for us but still. I laugh at all the game and fish boot lickers on this site. They are as far from hunter friendly as it gets. Unfortunately hunters talk a big game but won't actually stand for anything when it comes down to it. They don't fear us because we won't stick together and that's the problem. We are just endless revenue and they know it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
