Bushcraft, where does RMGA stand on the removal? Are you guys participating in the eradication effort?

I can't/won't speak out of turn on RMGA's stance, but I suspect you'll get the gist of it when reading through the lines of different observations they've made.

And yes, I put together a solid squad of very experienced backcountry hunters and big mountain death marchers.   :) ;)

You could shoot the biggest juvenile Billy in the state!
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Heard a pretty good anecdote the other day about the level of competition. A friend of a friend called the bio running the project trying to get an update. She said "what's your name?" He said "should be easy to find I'm the group leader and name is Aaron with two a's." she said "gonna need more than that. We have 18 group leaders named Aaron spelled with two A's".

If you're waiting on a response, I hope you've got a team of world class men if you think you're waiting for good news.

Even these pieces of feedback are helpful.

I'll run my special hunts as if there's no chance of this program happening for me.   :tup:

I think there is a lot of rumors going around.  According to a reliable source on rokslide it was 13 Aaron's  :chuckle:

Nine more days.  Anyone else getting antsy or did the lottery style odds cure you?
