Well, hope springs eternal. I would rather the season be lost and the process be fixed than WDFW just cave. That said, compromise is not a dirty word, and it's possible that the impasse this year could provide some political capital toward changing the system even if we end up getting a deal done for this year.

I sincerely hope that after all is said and done DFW doesn't end up accepting a bad deal anyway just to "save the day". That's really what this feels like...
