Probably never occurred to him as he was sitting in his cushy office drinking Carmel lattes from Starbucks! Politicians really need to stay out of game management. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The option now is to get enough representatives to vote no. If they are too scared to vote then they will push to make it a proposition. That would pass for sure.

1uglydude Report post Posted January 14, 2020 This bill is coming from the Cattle Grower's Association. Thorpe is in deep with the Tea Party movement and the ranchers. The ranchers have a lot of pull at the Legislature and Ducey loves to give them whatever they want. It's just one more page in the anti-public lands movement from the right hand side of the aisle. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ11 Report post Posted January 14, 2020 I agree with banning trail cams but not banning sitting at water. I don't think that politicians should have any say in this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
