Alpinecrick. Revenues are more than a part of the consideration, they are what drives license allocation, resident/nonresident quotas, and five year big game structure.
Sorry SS, but not true. There are enough wildlife advocates in CPW who won’t let that happen. Yes, there have been times in the past when revenues were driving the decision to the detriment of the resource but it does not happen very often.
In recent times there has been more of an effort to make that top echelon of CPW people be more aware of the views at the local level. As mentioned I was in a focus group this spring and I’ll be darned in they didn’t have a couple people from Denver as facilitators. Several of us in the focus group walked in a bit skeptical and ready cross swords with the Denver folks, but I’ll be darned if they didn’t do a good job. I have to give them credit.
