Yes IDFG knows what they're doing (at least sometimes [
]). I can't talk a whole lot about the big game situations, because I honestly don't know as much as you probably do, but as far as the fisheries side of things goes, I can pretty confidently say that they at least know what's going on or are trying to figure it out. I personally know and have worked with fisheries biologists from four different agencies, and several different departments within a couple of those agencies. They work very hard to try to keep everybody happy. When you think of the huge variety of people that they have to work with and try to please; everybody from farmers and water users, to extreme environmentalists, all the while keeping in mind that they have a limited budget to work with, it becomes a little more clear the huge task they have set for them.
Sorry, I seem to have climbed up on a soap box for a minute [blush]. But keep going to the meetings and voicing your opinion. Public opinion has more effect than many people realize.
Ps: Tatohead, congrats on the tiger.
