If I may, clearly there are enough emotions and drama circling this topic. Some good info and some bad. I have followed, unfollowed and followed again the IDHWM and their posts on FB. I have disagreed with a few tactics and maybe even some of their conclusions, but one question or line of questions that has been posed and to my knowledge ignored is this.

How many deer hunters/deer "stake holders" does the IDHA represent and how do they gather that information?

Was there a survey taken, results compiled and those results shared with the IDNR?

Is this an organization with a common goal reporting to the government or is it an outdated group with little input and simply acts as a conduit for a few to influence the many?

Thoughts?
