Wayne,

Thanks for making the meeting, i had planned to attend that meeting but My son blew the trans in my truck saturday and that left me without wheels, ofcourse Couldn't get anyone to loan me one, even the ones i loan my truck to on occasions, figures!
Anyway, Like Casey said, this Non-trans won't fix the problem just tone it down, it'll take away hunting Days one way or another, How can Anyone still think it's the best we can do? I hear Keith and Gladeshunter thoughts and i understand the problem, but i don't believe anyone person is getting that many permits, other then talk there's no proof, look at the harvest rates on each WMA it doesn't add up, then look at the Sign in sheet, 90% of WMAs have 55% turnout at any given time, that's not all Hoarding of permits because all WMAs are like that, so my point is, tweek the system at had, change a few more rules to Slow the hoarding and "selling for Guided hunts" down!

Guys we have to fix the problem at Hand, not create more problems or bandaid it! Every hunter on this forum benefits from transferable hunts, why would we want to cut it off?

Mark
