This is currently scheduled for Business and Labor at 8:30am Thursday 2/2/17. Please work this one hard as it is an uphill battle and we’ll lose the ability for game managers and law enforcement folks to get this data without subpoena.

An MSA bill revising record keeping by Board of Outfitters (Boo). MOGA
is trying to reduce record keeping to nearly nothing. We want and need
digitalization of data and want it shared between state and federal
agencies involved in oversight of outfitters or the critters they
harvest.
Specifically and very simply, we need to know:
who…..name and als
what…..big game harvested reported as to sex, species, and location down to hunting district (HD)
when….date of harvest
where…HD
Remember, no other license group uses public trust resources like outfitters!
We encourage the reduction in paper reporting but not at the cost of no data. What little we want is a small price to pay for harvesting public trust critters for free. The public…the owners….want this info collected.
Hunter surveys don’t collect the same data and the sample size (statistical significance) is small for outfitters. Shoulder seasons, harboring, and outfitter leasing of private and public lands require this data in order to successfully manage our big game resources.
It is ludicrous that outfitters think they can minimize all of what they report and thumb their noses at the public.
***Note*** MOGA was given a chance to work with us and declined.
PLEASE SUPPORT
