Also remember we're not talking whitetail deer, the most abundant and widely hunted of all of North American big game species, we're talking about a declining population of Blacktails and several small subspecies of mule deer here (as well as the small game and fish.)
Secondly if u just took a quick look at the photos and made your reply, I advise you to read through my replys as the info I was attempting to open eyes to has become scattered throughout the first three pages. My fault for not better explaining what the pics represented.
To me the pics represent declining game populations, poor game management and trashed public lands. Not at all saying that anyone guy pictured is at fault or to blame for what the Hmong people represent to the rest of the hunters/fishermen here in California or for what they've been allowed to do "legally" by dfg.
But I also don't see them stepping up and sharing their side of the story in any public forum or place of discussion on the topic.
And for those who say it's the older Hmong generation that was so hard on wildlife, remember who this generation learned from.
If you've ever seen an episode of Wild Justice, remember also that's the stuff ca dfg wanted the public to see. Hidden from the public eye is the real issues that fish and wildlife face everyday.
Should we enter the black market bear gall bladder discussion?
How about Bay Area fish markets?
Markets not particularly involving any average joe hunter.
How many times is the guy running a fish poaching ring in California a white guy?
Ever see a news headline here with a line up of 8-10 white dudes mugshots and headline reading poaching ring busted?
Generally those stories of white men poaching you read about involve one man and one poor decision...
I'm again trying to open eyes to issues that have been swept under the rug by California dfg. And the public too apparently. Not an attempt to start shit, but conversations (and ultimately solutions) have to start somewhere.
