I had a dude try to rip me out of my treestand one afternoon when he “caught” me sitting over a salt block. Which was “illegal” in Utah. Always had been! . They should make you sit down a read the proclamation before they issue you your tags every year.

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...

I think this is pretty fair and reasonable.

Call me old time, but I enjoy hunting and not just chummings, taking photos to select which animal I'm going to spend my time after and bragging when it works out. Give the animal a fair chance and get back to hunting and not all this electronic, high tech equipment and baiting. If it's not an advantage this issue would not be such a big topic.
