I was unable to attend the meeting due to a . Hope it went well. The houndsmen in the central region are getting together as many as we can on Tuesday night, March 27th to talk about and impliment ideas on how we as houndsmen can police ourselves. I just looked at the division report and it looks bleek. 28 females on just this one eco-region already. Most of the other eco-regions are getting close to closing down because of female harvest. Keep in mind folks that this does NOT include females that the division deems as sub-adults. A few more years like this and the Cougar in Utah will be an endangered species. The division is NOT going to look out for our interests. That is clear. We need to police ourselves. This meeting is a step towards doing so.
Place: Mt Pleasant Rec Center
When: Tuesday March 27, 2012 at 7:00

Spread the word. The last meeting was to try to get the division's attention.This one will be exclusivly for ideas on how we can better police ourselves. Remember WE have the dogs, therefore; WE have control.

looking at what hsus is doing in california now wanting to outlaw pursuit of bears and bobcats. now is the time for us to come together. we need to get to as many meetings as we can and get on the same page. the most frustrating part is that everybody has time to go kill lions, but not enough to make it to a meeting. I called over 30 people to go to nephi with me and I got 2. they were all too busy. as for policing something that is perfectly legal, I like your thinking but not sure how your going to accomplish that.

[BigGameHunter]

For starts by making a distinction between perfectly legal and ethical. We can choose to sit around on the sidelines and watch as the sport we love is demolished or we can choose to take a stand and make a difference. It started in the north with the lions getting demolished, now its happening here. Where do you think it's headed to next?

couldn't agree more. I will try to make it to the meeting. I was just curiouse what you were proposing doing. I think it's great, I have lost a few running buddies this year because of the peer pressure I gave them after they shot females.

[UtahMule]

Ill be at the meeting let me no if you need any thing.

info on the 4 manti units under the split go to the dwr website look up board and rac aug 19-20 2009. page 15 justin shannons comment, pg 16 Kevin Bunnels coment,pg 19 Director karpowits comment, altho the biolagy shows not a lion problem we still go to a split should be put back to L/E. if you look at the motions 0n number 9 the board voted to make it a straight up harvest objective and it passed but then they moved to change it to a split.

[Young Guns]

Houndnem haven't u killed a couple females this year yourself?

[Neff]

BGH,
This is great what you are trying to do with your meeting in Mt. Pleasant as we from Sanpete County have been hurt more than anyone. I do believe that we houndsmen and I mean all of us need to come together and decide how to move forward with the issues. However it will do no good to have several different groups with several different ideas. The strength will come from us all being united as one large group. Lets all come together with a plan that we can all agree on. It is time for everyone to get together for a common cause and a common purpose, if we don't life as we know it will come to an end very soon. See ya at the meeting.

Young Guns,
Lets try to focus our energy on figuring how to change what has happened here with our Lions and is starting to with the Bear. We have to come together this is not the time to fight amongst ourselves.

I was also thinking we should ask the UDWR why the LE Deer and Elk units can't work like the Lions, LE for the first half of the hunt and general season for the last half. Like the Hennry's for Deer and Pahvant for Elk. simply amazing is'nt it.

God Bless the Houndsmen.

Well thats the problem with this state. Everyones about keeping this sport around but u put a few bucks in front of some peoples face and females are hitting the dirt. Its not about our sport everyone is about themselfs and who has bigger balls and what my dog can do.
