Big Game Forever is a scam. Google them and SFW...not the kind of folks you want to send money to or be associated with if you are a sportsman. :twocents:
Can you elaborate? I was under the impression that they were a big part of the mule deer recovery that Utah is currently enjoying

What Utah mule deer recovery do you speak of? I was down hunting muleys there this year...overwhelming majority concurred big parts of the state are as bad as it's been in 30+ years.

Rather a large brush stroke idaho, do not have to look far to find a great deal of positve with BGF.:chuckle:
Look just past the glossy cover photo. I recall when Simpson and Tester delisted wolves in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming via an approp bill...it was BGF trying to stop them. Again...google them...too much corruption for me to even try and capture what is already documented.

Well a quick search on the googler shows that in the last 10 years populations have grown from around 275k in 2008 to as high as 380k in 2016 and are currently sitting at about 355k so... that 30% increase in the last 10 years would be the recovery I speak of. From what I read BGF was an instrumental part of the coyote bounty program which is what many folks are crediting with the deer population increase

Compare a heavy public property state, say Nevada, with an almost no public property state, how about Texas, the income from outdoor activity is about triple per acre for the private state. I understand the cheap access angle but agency management is often a problem.
