why not try to expand on it. If theres a sticking point, then think of a solution. A talk isnt going to accomplish anything. God himself could tell the commitee that theres no harm in hunting snakes, and theyll dismiss him. Besides, that approach has already failed. What hasnt been tried is to offer P&W something. My idea offers them more enforcement abilities and more money. Please, before anyone comes up with a problem and wants to shoot down the permit idea, try to come up with a solution to the problem. If everyone can focus on that then maybe we can address all the sticking points, and we could present a proposal that works well for us and them. For example, a bag limit for Texas residents is a sticking point. If residsents were allowed to log 5 alterna a year with a permit, then after 5 years they could have 25 in their posession. Oooooh I can already hear it, "what about captive bred snakes." Document them well. Save reciepts, photo hatchlings, etc. Im just brainstorming, can someone please help me.
