Not much discussion about the waterfowl language in the bill. It originally prohibited guides and outfitters taking clients onto WMAs. Good move, I’ve seen an increase in that type of activity at FB. Didn’t take the guides and outfitters long to get to the bill sponsor. Latest revision now allows such practice with a permit approved by the Wildlife Board, and we all know who the Wildlife Board listens to. Of course they’ll make the argument that guides and outfitters take clients big game hunting on public property, so why shouldn’t they be able to do the same thing in WMAs. Big difference, millions of acres versus hundreds of acres. Now the average waterfowl hunter will have to continue to compete with outfitters for the limited choice spots on our WMAs. Just my two cents worth...
