"...the loincloth club..."
I don't have a dog in the Idaho fight...but it's worth pointing out that as long as people like you lace their posts with childish sarcasm, nothing they bother to say on the subject in general has any credibility and is discounted as irrelevant because it's obviously self-serving. 

Referring to those who prefer traditional muzzleloaders for obvious reasons as "the loin cloth club" would be no different than lumping all high performance inline hunters together and calling them "the cheaters club".

You're comments are often hypocritical...on the one hand blaming traditionalists for causing division among muzzleloading hunters, which is ludicrous of course, yet you do it yourself constantly with your sarcasm and comments like "the loincloth club"...a fact that actually makes you a bigot by definition.

Any freshman psychology student knows that those who constantly make slanderous, sarcastic, demeaning remarks about another group do because they're afraid and know that their own preferred position is weak, lacks the logic to support it on its own merits.

So based upon your posts, your communication style, your obvious mindset towards other groups, the conclusion to be drawn is that you believe all inline hunters should be lumped together and referred to as members of "the cheaters club".

You see how stupid that sounds?

Is it even remotely possible that you can carry on an adult conversation on the issues without resorting to childish name calling?

 Ok WOW a bunch , ok ill get started

Quote
You lumping all modern MLers together is WRONG.  There are law breakers and criminals in EVERY group including the traditional group of hunters.  I'd bet a million that if the traditionalists were hit with similar law changes that took away hunting as they know it, their would be the same uproar and death threats.  The people putting these polls out KNOW just what kind of response these polls are going to receive before they put them out there.  Then they can use the action of some of the wackos to say, "See, these people are unreasonable."  Then people like you get right on the bandwagon and justify what is being done because of the bad apples instead of looking at the real issue.  Again, this is plain wrong.

 Most likely true however it pretty hard not to when you deal with such things on a regular basis .
When a group starts to organize it must have a base of respectability , without that base  it hurts the credibility of all concerned .
 Also I would like folks to realize that im trying my best to  explain whats going on , why its going on . Who is bring forward what  while at the same time keeping as much of my personal opinion out of it . that’s pretty hard to do most time but im trying my best to make the attempt unless ask specifically about my opinion as I felt sabot shooter did above .

 
Quote

So, based on the fundamental basics as you describe, we can never get along.  So basically you are saying that you can not get along with a modern MLer because of the rifle that he carries.  Wow.  I have no problem with a person carrying a traditional rifle.  I think that is fantastic.  And, regardless of what you say, I can appreciate why some hunt with them.

  Well not that’s not what im getting at .
Case in point . One of the forum I regularly go to is very much a modern forum . At one time the   topics were split such as here , there was a traditional area and a modern area .
 The fights were constant  basicly because of two people  one called himself a traditionalist “ which I disputed 100%” but basically he was the flip side of Nonya here .
 After a year or so  folks got feed up , ALL folks   both modern and traditional  , together  after a lot of work we got that person removed  and now the muzzleloading section “ which is  combined now “ is starting a slow progress back .
 Now how did that happen ?
Now this is my Opinion so.
1) folks had to realize that we have  basic differences in the Why of things    just as I said above , out core beliefs are totally different .  I believe when we realize this we can get along generally.
 Where we always will hit heads however is in the establishment of seasons  and the reasoning of WHY a given opportunity is provided .  The differences between the two groups  is just to great .
 Now maybe it can be looked at as not getting along because of  a weapon one chooses to carry . However  I think its deeper then that really  and actually goes to the base of  WHY

I find it interesting that you mention all this in a PM to me, but I don't recall you EVER putting this on a message board.  I'm not saying you didn't, just that I haven't seen it.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

In our discussions in this forum, it seems like you are implying that the commission is taking a second look because of the uproar from the inliners.  While in the PM you say they are looking at it because the numbers might not be valid.  I think for anyone reading your posts on the board and the quote from you above have to be scratching their head

 Ok a few thinks have happened as this has evolved .

 As I said before  the commission was looking at   upcoming technologies  concerning all sections of our hunts . , archery , center fire , and muzzleloading . They do this each winter to  help understand what  consequences   or possible loop holes need to be closed  or  opened up in some cases .

 Now understand again the Commission is a separate entity from the F&G . The folks sitting on the board are not paid  for their jobs  , they are  simply folks who have been appointed for any given reason  to over see  issues and establish  regulations .

 When the F&G  wish to make a change , it must be submitted to the commission  in the same manor as you or I would .
  Because of this the commission  has no  real research ability  past coming to the general publish or directing the F&G to provide documentation  which is most often the case .

 So now you have the F&G  proposing a needed change . Now mind you this wasn’t  just a general change but one that was proposed directly from the management section . Keep in mind that section is the one task with compiling  information’s from studies , harvest report  and surveys.
 When the proposal came forward the commission ask for public input . That request went out not only on the internet but also in the F7G news  .
 Once that information was compiled it was then re submitted back to the commission  with the added public input . that’s the numbers I also sent you in a PM . Based on all that the commission  accepted the proposed change  with a unanimous vote .  They  also stated “the commission “ that they new it would not be popular with some but  based on the information provided ,they felt its what needed done .

 Now after this change  a group started complaint process  “ which by the way is what  is supposed to happen “
  The information the provided  caused the commission to re think  the change . Now mind you this rethink has basically been started by 2 northern commissioners who  are getting hit with  a large number of complaints . While at the same time  I have been told that the southern commissioners are receiving little to no complaints .
 Now basicly as I understand it , these complains  are supporting that this change was really about the looks of a weapon  and not on its capabilities .

 So now  this brings up my question  and opinion as I stated to you in PM .

 IF this change was about management as it was proposed . Again I heard the proposal in person  and can atest to the fact that  it was .
 Then I ask you  WHY would the commission  re consider the change ?

1) it wasn’t about management as we were all lead to believe
2) there  has been found a problem with the  management sections  documentation .

 So now if this is the case , who is responsible ?
1) Modern shooters ? I find that highly un likely
2)Traditional shooters ?   Of which I stated were working on issues within their own  hunts
3) the management section itself   has a problem  and possibly did not did not base their  proposal on sound  information  thus IMO the person in charge IE brad Compton is the one  that dropped the ball  for what ever reason  and should be held accountable .

 As to minutes of where I have said that . Those meeting were   regional meeting  with commissioners . As they are round table type meetings im not sure that any minutes will ever be released .
 However when I get home tonight ill  post copies of my speeches  that I gave so as to show you what I personally said  as well as copies of a couple letters I have sent to  commissioners that  are far enough away that we don’t meet  often .

.  Ok so that’s long enough for now and I gotta get to work  but ill get the rest of you requests answered  and continue this tonight when I get back
 Be safe and have a good day

Do you have anything to add besides your 6th grade psychiatric evaluation of my posts?You are giving me flack for sarcasm as you pull a Sigmund Freud and break down the validity of my opinion based on the level of sarcasm involved in my text?The loincloth crowd is a perfect description of those who call themselves "traditionalists",they seem to think they are a rung above the rest of the ML hunters because they want to dress like Kit Carson and wear a tomahawk in their belt.Any group that wants to take away hunting opportunity's from other hunters in order to "save traditional hunting" will receive all the sarcasm i can muster without breaking the GBO rules.Your post has just proven what kind of armchair experts populate the purist loincloth club.There is nothing more slanderous than going to F&G meetings and begging,lieing and conniving in order to eliminate a group of hunters from a season you want all to your own,there is nothing more demeaning than suggesting that modern ML huners are a "bunch of cheaters",this is what has happened among your loincloth club and you are backing them.Take a look in the mirror Sigmund,evaluate your "traditionalists",give them an honest evaluation,then come here and call me sarcastic.Until then replace your loincloth with the new depends "traditional" leather bound hunting garment and go hunting.
If it aint fair chase its FOUL,and illegal in my state!

 Ok  sorry its late . Its been a long day .
 So now   why do I support this move .
 Lets make something real clear here .
 I am not beyond changing by stance on this issue . HOWEVER  I also understand the reality of how this works.
 The F&G have already  provided enough information that the commission accepted their proposal .
 The law is passed . So now its not a mater of them proving to us that they are correct .
 The ball is actually in our court to prove that their information is flawed  and not correct .
 Now eather commission has already been presented with that information OR they are basing their review on  the complaint process .
 However IF the F7g documentation  shows that a higher success rate is being  experience in units allowing modern  muzzleloading  even while under restrictions then why would the commission even really consider such a push ?
 Recently I was ask by  one of the northern commissioners to present a proposal to the commission as to Why  and what the differences are  between modern and traditional  and how it relates to this issue  ?

After thinking on it I felt I must decline  the invitation .
 Basically because to me this has nothing to do with   problems between the two groups .
 If  this issue had been a proposal strictly to remove modern muzzleloading completely and openly then I would have no problem giving my say .
 But that’s not what this issue is about .

 Now am I a traditionalist , you bet when it comes to muzzleloading its 100% .
 I will make no qualms about saying I would very much like to see a truly traditional season here , no conical, no modern powder , just simple RB and black .  I think we should very much go back to the rules of the 1970-1980 concerning muzzleloading  in this state .

 Now I also realize that other states never have had an established  season such as  we do . For those states that have season based on modern muzzleloading , Ha more power to you , what ever floats your boat .

 I also don’t think  any change should be discussed  as something other then it is .
  People should  come right out with it .

Anyway its late and my mind is wondering into different subjects but  rest assured if I find documentation that shows the management section of the F&g  pulled the wool over our eyes , I have no problem pulling my support . That information will be inhouse information though and not what IMO is  warm and fuzzy information released for the public .

 Here is a couple  speeches I gave .
 Somewhere I have more saved but , these will have to do , im just flat to warn out
 Be safe and have a good evening

Quote

July 2006
Gentleman.
I have addressed you  in the past as a director of the traditional muzzleloading association .
  Tonight im going to address you as a Life long sportsman  of this state .


 I  grew up in these halls ,,,,,,,,,,not only in this building but the old building of the Idaho fish and game . My father  worked most of his life for this department  and proudly wore the black and yellow  insignia  .

 I first addressed a commission  on hunting issues at age 12 . The topic as I recall was bear hunting  in and around the salmon river .
It was expected of me ,,,,,,,,,,,,, not only as a hunter  but as someone concerned with  the aspects of  the wildlife of this state ..

So tonight im going to say this to you  and  those in this room .


  I could explain the differences in  muzzleloading technologies  of today vs. those that our season was founded on . However im will not .

 I could  tell you  why folks feel as strongly as   they do on this issue .
 However im not going to do that either .

 I could stand here and tell you that  the phone calls that all of you  have gotten against this  move concerning modern muzzleloading is less the 1% of the total hunter numbers in this state . However im not going to do that either.

 What I am going to say is this

 the problems we are having now concerning game management .

 not just deer , elk , wolf , bear  , muzzleloading   but fisheries as well as general season hunting ,,,,,, encompasses all  the above .

 For the last 20 + years we have had commissions that  in one form or another have not been working commissions .
 They have refused to address or take on issues  that were sensitive , preferring to pass them on to the next  sitting members .

 When they have attempted to  address the completed structure of this states management  such with the LOI and  salmon recover  situations  , they cant seem to stand united  or accept the recommendations of  those in the management sections whose job it is to structure our  states wild life .
  It seems to me they were afraid  to have their phone ring . Some  not even returning calls of concerned folks .

I have seen this time and time again .  Idaho fish and game Biologists to include my father  warned in the late 1960’s  that we were losing the sockeye runs at redfish , spring and fall Chinook on the   salmon .,,,,,,,,,, That all fell on deft  ears . Now some  40 years later  we are only starting to recover .


However I submit to you what we had  is gone . Gone are the large numbers of  salmon , steelhead .
 Gone are our stable big game numbers . Gone are many of the  quality hunting opportunities .

Will  or children be standing here  in another 40 years  asking why  we as sportsman did not support what our biologist were telling  us .
Wavering   to big money  and a small minority out cry . Choosing to  support
 The might dollar  and technologies  over  what we should have seen coming .



 Mr Compton  sat here in this room in open public meeting and presented  the recommendation  to this board  of what  needed to be done to help preserve not only  Muzzleloading opportunity  but big game numbers in those units  .
Not one   word ,,,
did he mention about traditional vs. modern muzzleloading .
 Never did I here him speak  about spirit or intent of the season  .

 What he recommended in full was based on a need for management .
 Supposedly it was based on  large  take numbers and low numbers of game populations  .

 Yet   when one  such as I ,,,,,,, called for clarification ,,the reply we get seems to be more  dictated by what side of the issue  we are perceived of falling on not on what was proposed or why .

 Gentleman, I have gotten the same  thing from a couple commissioners sitting on this board .


 I implore you  stand firm on not only this issue with muzzleloading but also others, that you will be needing to make over the next few years .

 If the political resource committees   decide to over turn your decisions, let them . At least then we as sportsman and you as commissioner can say  we  did the best we could   based on the findings of folks  that are paid to understand the issues,,,,,,, not some instantaneous squeaky wheel that only fills a room  or calls  to complain when something doesn’t  set right with their individual way of thinking .

 Gentleman look around you . Its time this state had a working commission . 
Some folks may not like  your decisions , I may not like your decisions on   some issue .
 However if you base those decisions on    sound policies backed by management numbers , you have my respect  and full support .


Here is another conversation I had with Alix Erby  one of the northern commissioners

Quote

Well fellas I though I was going to hit you with something  but im behind the ball I guess .
Well today I tried to make it up . So  I spent from 10 pm this morning to 1  with the  Idaho muzzleloading association . I then spent another 2 hours with the commission.
   The IMA also had the same concerns  as we have  on this issue . I have also hears that the rules are not final  and that they will not be final tell  the 9th of march .
 So I decided to  take the issue right to the commission .
 I ask them this .

Question : We have heard through the roomer market that the IDF&G commission is going to re visit this rule change .
 
Answer : NO we ill not be revisiting this ruling  .  We just came off of 2 days of meetings with the senate recourse committee and House recourse committee . While its true that they will not official enact our proposed changes tell mid march we have been assured that  the commission has the full backing  of both committees and the governor of this state . We believe that the rules as posted on the Idaho fish and game web site will stand .
 What we will be doing under the public  comment  meeting  is accepting comment on  notification  of agendas . We will not and do not plan on revisiting the  technologies issues that have been ruled on



Question : we  understand that  the fish and game and  commissions phones  have been ringing off the hook with complaints .  We the TMA would like to state our full support in this commissions findings and rulings . What  as been the overall  objections  to this change .

Answer : surprisingly little  in southern and central regions of this state .   While we have had complaints the main  source of those complaints are from northern Idaho. These are coming as  form letters . We believe from one or two sources   and one petition that is being circulated .  Its to be expected ..

Question : there was a letter recently circulated  stating  that  the commission  yielded to minority influence.

Answer : the section of that letter has been taken out of context . Muzzleloading in general in Idaho is a minority   . We dealt with that minority as such  , as one group . Modern shooters and traditional . The recourse committees respectively have  suggested that they want  a working commission . That what we intend to be . They have given us the impression that they support or action  .

wrong, wrong, WRONG!!!!
It is up to them to GET IT RIGHT!!!!!  If this change even came CLOSE to fixing the problem, I am sure that many inliners would support it.  Not all, but a lot I belileve.  The problem is, it makes NO sense as I have been stating throughout my posts.  EVERYONE knows it doesn't make sense.  The F&G and the commision shouldn't need anything but a little common sense to know it won't make a difference.  If there is a real problem, get a real solution, not some minor change that impacts a minority group of hunters so they can say, "Look, we are doing something!"  Then in 5 years they say, "Oh, sorry, it didn't work."  That is just as bad or worse than those you said, "Did nothing."

I could stand here and tell you that  the phone calls that all of you  have gotten against this  move concerning modern muzzleloading is less the 1% of the total hunter numbers in this state . However im not going to do that either.

That is hillarious!  To quote you "LMAO".  Read it, you're not going to tell them???.......................YOU JUST DID!!!!!!!  You really should have someone proof read your speeches.

This is my last post on this subject here, at least for awhile.  I have stated my ideas the best I can.

Thanks for posting the speeches.  They only confirm EXACTLY what you have been DENYING.  Anyone that reads those speeches can see that you are bending their ears toward the traditional side.  AND, you yourself while denying that this is a Traditional -vs- Modern issue...........your speeches say otherwise.  After reading them, I am completely shocked you posted them.  It shows clearly how clouded your eyes are on this.

Captchee, I urge you to think this through carefully.  You mention the kids and the future.  You KNOW this change will have no significant impact.  You know it will take at least several years of study before the F&G will figure it out, if they go forward with the current laws.  That is several years that will be completely wasted.  YOU think about the KIDS and their FUTURE.  DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!

« Reply #72 on: August 17, 2007, 05:33:04 AM »
well two problems cascadedad  as i see it
1) the rules have already been change based on  the F&G proposal
 In order for those changes to be invalided  then their proposal has to be  flawed in reason
So we have to PROVE that their reason was flawed .
 I submit that   if the documentation was not their to support that  proposal  then the change would not have been made . So now we have to look at  their information and say to the commission ; LOOK , this information is wrong based one XXXXX
 Its up to US  as  hunters to do that , Not the F&G , they have apparently already made there point  or the rules would not have been changed based on their proposal .
 Things don’t have to make sense to you and I , it has to make sence to the commission . that’s all going to be  based on what the F&G proposed in there submission paperwork.

 Now IF this will work ? I will again have to agree with you  I don’t see how it can make to much of an impact . HOWEVER again . Those who get paid to  make such decisions must feel that in some way or as part of the greater schema of things it will..

 The time for all that your talking about needed to be done  over a year past . That was the time to  rebut the F&G proposal .
Now is the time to bring forward information  to  show that what was accepted  was flawed . 

2) at the time of my speech , “the first one I posted “  which by the way I got the wrong date its was 7th of march . The numbers of complaints were less the 1000  which was less then 1% of the total hunter numbers and less then 10% of the  tag holding muzzleloader hunters .
The reason I worded my speech the way I did was because  I didn’t need to tell the commission that , they already new it . It also  kept the discussion of compiling numbers  out of the meeting  at least during my speech  as it was not what the meeting was about .

 It was a way of saying something , addressing an issue yet not really addressing it at all ..

AND, you yourself while denying that this is a Traditional -vs- Modern issue...........your speeches say otherwise. After reading them, I am completely shocked you posted them. It shows clearly how clouded your eyes are on this.
Now here is why IMO you think this
 I don’t think you seeing the bigger Picture here .
 Without a idea of what has  happened  through the years  your probably getting the wrong impression.
 Past commissions have had a record of simply going with the flow on any given issue . We are not just talking about  muzzleloading but  everything state wide .
 If the money influence or political influence was enough , that’s were they fell . didn’t mater what  folks where telling them , what documentation was being provided .

 This commission was set up to be a working commission  and the commissioners have told us all that’s what they intend to be .
 Now I ask you  if that’s the case then   how can they  listen to a small section /% of input over  another ? Be that a group of traditional hunter or a group of folks complaining of the change  ?
 The past decisions have created a problem that this commission has to try and fix . Thus they should IMO listen to those  who we as the public pay to study .
Now we as the public may not agree with their decisions ,. However , we also do not have access to all the studies or forecasts that these folks work with every day .

 Now the second speech , actually interview was  because we  were basically asking ? Whats going on here .
I was the one asking the questions . The answers  were from a commissioner him self , not from me .
 This was all part of the process of understanding where  things were coming from , what was true and what was not .
 Why would we , We as the IMA and the national TMA  ask this ?
 Simply because as I said later  in the march speech , we were getting two different  explanation from BOTH the commission and  the F&G .

I personally made call , which I alluded to  in my march speech .
 I called once as a traditionalist who supported this move base don nothing but removing modern weapons . The answer I got from both  was that this was a management  issue .
 However 3 hours later when calling again  under a different name  and stating I was a modern hunter  wanting to know what was going on , I got a completely different answer .
 Then the next day when calling as a general rifle hunter concerned about management  I got a third answer ..

 Now why is that ?
IMO if this commission is going to be a working commission they need to stand up and say ;This is why , you may not like it but it needs done . With the information provided to us we feel this is the best course of action at this time . END OF STORY.

So if  what I said  looks like im supporting some agenda  im sorry you flat got it wrong  as IMO if the commission wants to suport a traditional agenda then they should come right out and say : we are moving back to a more traditional and earlier  set of rules for this  season .
 Say it openly not hide it behind some ruse to gain support of   the general public .
 I just don’t think to do such  a thing is right

Noyna .
 You’re a troll  and I simply will not address you or your  impression of the issues .
IMO you’re here for no reason other then to create conflict in this discussion.

 When you achieve some idea of the complexity of this issue  and can discuss it in a manor of an adult then we can continue with you

"It was a way of saying something , addressing an issue yet not really addressing it at all .."

That is all you have done since you started these threads.

Someone got some popcorn, lots of butter and sprinkle some salt on to please ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Muzzle-loader season should be MUZZLE-LOADER SEASON plain and simple. Read the definitions, PLEASE. The words Primitive and TRADITIONAL were never part of it. If you can't get along with other hunters then stay home, PLEASE. Our world is getting smaller every day. Tolerance and respect of others is what we need, not a bunch of selfish elitist's who are intolerant of others wants, needs and rights.

It is EXACTLY the subject,you cant tolerate other hunters who choose to use a SLIGHTLY different weapon that you dont find proper so u and you buddy's do what you can to take away their hunting importunity..The are hunting methods and choices that I dont agree with(high fence,Ect) but I wouldNEVER attempt to take away the opportunity's these hunters have.

captchee, if I were you I would just quit. These guys are see things from a different perspective. In their world they have too many deer. In their world they have 5 to 10 deer tags.  In our world we get one tag, and the chance of a good buck gets worse every year.  Ron

Idaho Ron 

Fine, you have a problem - but why does that have to extend to the whole state... the controls were already in place to allow you to hunt a big bucks... We have declare at the get go whether we want to hunt muleys... and two if the inlines were the problem just declare the hunts in the limited effected areas to "traditional' - you southern Idaho muley problem does not extend to the whole state - but the recent ruling do - thank gosh there will be a next year...
Keep shooting muzzleloaders - they are a blast....

1) because   the state is ahhh ? A state not  group A, group B., Northern foulk , southern folks .
 People are always complaining that  the great state of Boise gets all the breaks . Yet when officials clearly make  rule  that effects the state as a whole  its bad LMAO .

2) what do you consider big bucks ? Right now im thinking after the last counts EVEN for the hells canyon area  3Point or better is a big buck . I don’t call that quality . Nor do I call that good management of breeding stock .

3) no you have not  declared from the get go .
See this all started a few years back . This  issue is just another aspect of  a long existing change .
 It started with  buck and bull only hunts for the general population .
 Then moved to regional and split tags for elk .
 Then it moved to a  whitetail tag or a general deer tag .  Now depending on what  time you want to hunt and your area , a general deer tag  is good for white tail .

4) I would agree  however that wasn’t an option  that was accepted  cant tell you why , I simply don’t know

5 again you better hope  there is a next year , because the way its looking from the last few days
 Your going to be lucky if you Draw a tag . Next year could very well be  the last .
OH did I mention that would also be state wide 

 Now most certainly  each commissioner can just as they have done this year  make allowances within a given rule but I submit to you this .
 If the rest of the state goes to a permit system  for all seasons . And the glorious North does not .
 How long do you think it will take before  the flock of Ada county plates show up at your door ?
 How long before  you two start having a a whole list of problems.

 No I think you better hope this rule stays and we still can have some type of  general season  where all one has to do is comply with the rules and then go hunt .

 Not sit around wondering if he was lucky enough to draw a tag THIS year . Considering one had not drawn for the last 3 .

 but ha thats  just me maybe thats how you want it .
 i tell you what though , this plays out like it looks like its going and  there is going to be a crap load of i told you so

You can get a doe WT tag in most parts of the state,there are a few hunting districts that have surplus doe MD tags.In areas where the MD numbers are down you cant get ANY md tags.Real simple and effective approach,dont kill MD in areas where their numbers are low.

 so is that where you get the doe tags you refured to  a while back ?

 past that  , now your actually starting to get it .
 now go to the next step  because we are past that  or maybe you forgot

Cap,I hope you understand yourself because I dont think anyone here besides you has a clue as to what you are trying to get across.What in the hell does me buying surplus doe tags in MT have to do with you wanting to stomp out modern ML hunting in ID?

The statement he made in his "speech" about saying alot without really saying anything is the only statement of his that is even close to being coherent,I dont think he even knows whats going on anymore.
