Of course! Another leverage that all but eliminates any real balance.

The sportsmen of this state contributes millions of dollars through license purchases, permits and enhancements. Millions more to local economies such as tackle stores, boat dealers, and mom and pop gas stations. Much of it in area's without a great deal of other income.

Yet, the sportsmen is somehow being manipulated to the life of a mushroom. Kept in the dark and fed Bull$hit by the very people who are supposed to be our advocates, THE COMMISSION!

Instead of improving communications and being more transparent in the decision making process, they are doing the exact opposite!

WHY? Exactly because of leverage. The leverage that the NWIFC uses over the State, through the Commission to assert their demands over what is fair and balanced.
