How to get big game rules changed?
« on: Yesterday at 10:43:54 PM »
Does anyone know how to go about getting big game rules changed? Not biology based, just a few simple rules that I’ve thought could be done better

1st you need to talk to the people who are writing the rules. If it is a specific species you need to find out who the management lead for that species. If broader maybe Anis Aoude is who to talk to. I predict no success unless you have a group behind you. Tough for an individual to get much traction. They won't change anything except during the three-year package changes which is in 2027 so believe it or not you probably should have started 6 months ago.
Getting a change is tough so if you think your ideas are worthwhile don't be discouraged if you fail.
You probably need to convince someone within the Department to go to bat for you.

I got a rule change within a year back in Michigan. Pointed out to a Game Warden a caliber restriction loophole. They didnt like it one bit and the loophole was closed the next year.
