John,



While I agree, this approach is not going to stop wildlife agencies from enacting left wing agenda legislation against us. You and I have clearly outlined that this does and will continue to happen. We have also outlined how and why it happens. Others have brought up that many within the industry itself help them with their agenda. I am also not sure we can do it on our own with out some regulatory backing. How would you manage industry folks?



We do need to get together and design a nationwide herp policy. I was hoping USARK would start getting this together but I bet they are overwhelmed with the python issue and the banning agenda. We need to design an over all policy for the nation and then we need to work out how to go about enacting it one state at a time. Each state has the authority to do what it wants in regards to its wildlife thus making this process extremely difficult. The biggest problem is getting folks to put in the time and money to get something done. This is the same problem we have had for years. It would be a lot easier to work at the Federal level. We need to normalize herp regulations across the nation. I can only put in so much time working on this because I have things to do to live. Most everyone else is in the same boat. We need folks working on this fulltime and that takes money. I would be happy to donate some of my time and some of my money but I don't have a lot of either.
