i will be at the denver one.
The outcome is the same. People in GJ tell them they are flat out nuts and corrupt at the meetings. They get it every time here.Mattsabasser said:I often wonder what would be the outcome if a large number of folks at these meetings told the DOW they were flat out crazy?
Seriously....what if the DOW proposed something so ridiculous and every angler looked them right in the eye and said "That is total BS!"
Wouldn't Mr. Meeting holder feel the pressure and go back to HQ saying, "Guys, we really need to re-think this."
In most places you need a maximum length limit, unless they are just trying to establish a population. In most waters, it should be 3 or 5 fish, with only one over 18" allowed.Oats said:Who here would like to change the Walleye limit and what would you change it too? I personally think the walleye situation is in good shape.
The majority of the people, including myself, use that approach when we deal directly with the DOW. The plain fact is they just don't listen to the people. Myself and others offer countless facts backed up with biological science and other evidence. Very occasionally we do stop them doing something.meandmydog said:so if that appraoch has been used and didn't work why not try to be respectful and offer an opion thats backed up with either independent studies,research, or a petition i have never been to one so i can not say what would happen it juust seems like if you go into anything with the goverment acting like john wayne they will hear nothing where as if a proposal is made and the proper chain of command is followed you can get answers. if i have an issue with any agency i will start at the bottom buut i will not stop untill i get what i wanted out of the situation or a damn good explanation.
by the way this was not targeted at anyone. juust seems like every time i hear about someone going to meetings or having problems just got irate and ended without any answers.
