It is hard to follow one great vision in a world of darkness and of many changing shadows. Among these shadows men get lost.

For the boundary comment section. Can the guys that hunt these areas post up what kind of support they need, yay or nay for the proposals. I don't know much of the areas and have no opinion but would like to support the hunters that will be affected.

My comment would be weather you would like some the larger areas split or made smaller. Probably not a lot of people comment on the GMU boundries.

I don’t think they are actually changing any GMU boundaries. It’s just a change in the wording for 485 and 522. That’s about it so really not much reason to comment.

Also, no more buying OIL points for your kids. Proposal states you must complete hunters education before you can buy an application for the OIL’s.

That's a good change.

First thing I noticed that disappoints me is the reduction of youth moose tags from 18 to only 1. Just bad timing since this will be my daughter's first year to apply for permits.

Other than out of your own greed to draw a tag, how is this a good change?

Not sure what it has to do with greed, as either way doesn't affect my chance of drawing.

Just my opinion but I never thought it was fair that a person could accumulate points while not even legally allowed to actually hunt. So I feel the change is warranted.
I agree with that. I don’t think youth should have OIL anyhow. Give them a hair tag for deer but there are too many people who have 20 plus points and have been paying into the system for a lifetime. A ten year old kid hasn’t earned it a sense. With such a small opportunity you have to limit someone.

And i fully support youth opportunity and think they should increase on deer and elk but they can wait like everyone else in oil.

My generic feedback for these proposals and this state is this:

The commission supports an anti hunting bias, is way too predator friendly, cares more about fishing and could care less about anything other than where the money is when they are selling tags.

So in my late 30s I am pretty much done with this state. I give up.  They can let the predator population run rampant, they can squeeze the youth, muzzleloader and archery user groups out.  They can continue to get commanded like a puppet by the tribes (thank the courts for this one) and they can be fooled into thinking the wolf plan might actually work...

Me?  I am out.  Taking my money to any of the other western states that want it.  I am raising young kids who participate in the outdoors but it won’t be in this state.  Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado are all on the list.  We will spend thousands annually to do so.

With wolves getting redistributed to all corners of the state it will go downhill fast. I am tired of fighting the rhetoric.  Good luck.

No. Not me... polls don’t show up on tapatalk for me.  Rarely get on the site direct.

Your going to have to contend with wolves in all the states you mentioned.

Yep.  But they do manage them.  Sure we are losing the fight every where but this state is trending the wrong way fast.

Did you really think I didn’t know that?

Just got my comments in. I thought I had missed the deadline, and was bummed, but it's open through midnight tonight.

Anyone see replacement dates for Modern Blacktail? I'm seeing the dates scratched with no new dates...typo I hope!

I see this as well.  Looks like they eliminated all of the regular Modern blacktail seasons while keeping a short late modern blacktail season in some units.  Is this correct?  No Modern Blacktail season in October at all?

I'm guessing they just didn't put in the new dates (yet).
No way they could eliminate modern blacktail season IMO.

I still see them.  They are farther down the page, just rearranged the order.
