I think there are many reputable and intelligent people on this forum. Is everyone? Without a doubt no. However, everyone is entitled to an opinion---this is still America isn't it-- and just because it may be unpopular at the time doesn't mean it should not be heard and considered. Doesn't mean one has to take action on it but it may stimulate another way of looking at things none the less.
As to the DWR working with committees I am sure there are some bright people involved, but to they represent the entire cross section of fisherman/hunters in the state? I have been involved with many committees in other areas of my life and it has been my experience that usually only a small fraction of the members contribute in any meaningful way. I have seen the DWR on this site in the past asking opinions and giving answers to certain questions. Just wondering why it can't be a regular occurrence. God forbid there can be any meaningful interaction between the masses and a government agency!
I wasn't asking for a dissertation on the June Sucker from the DWR--just an explanation of what they thought about when planting browns in Starvy and what they think the primary food source for them will be? Any clues? Transparency is a good thing.
Totally agree with you on the ESA, its workings and the interactions needed to make it successful. Maybe better communication and education from the feds and state would make everyones jobs easier.
