Matt,
I don't hunt Black Warrior (yet anyway), but I commend you for coming on here and fielding some of the questions/concerns. By answering the "whys" rather than just saying "Trust me, I know best", it builds public trust and confidence in your program.

One idea for WMA's would be to put a Likes/Dislikes box at the check station and then come up with someway to communicate back to the public the most common concerns. Maybe Black Warrior is already doing this, but others are not. Many dislikes could most likely be addressed by giving the "why" and not actually doing anything different.
