*** are you talking about? Of course I remember the damn survey that I ALSO PARTICIPATED IN!! My point, if you could freaking read, is a handful of people showed up to the Commission meeting from SWLA that wanted the earlier dates. The Commission also had other people in their ears about earlier dates. They CHOSE to listen to the VOCAL group that appeared over the survey results. They also took into consideration the fact that they had pushed the opener back the season before to appease another group!
This was no different than the shrimp season situation. The proposed dates were based on data that LDWF compiled. A dozen or so shrimpers showed up, voiced their opinion, and got it changed.
They are going to give more weight to a group showing up and voicing their opinion. You and MG and anyone else can argue all day that that is not right, that it should be based on data or hunter opinion or whatever, but that does not change the fact that they have proven time and time again that they are going to give weight to someone that stands at a podium in front of them on the first Thursday of the month.
