Yet, we still have a couple folks complaining on here that didn't take the time to apply and hunt. Let's see, 100% of those willing did what was required and are happy. Those that didn't are complaining. Sounds like we got the correct hunters after all!
Maybe you missed my post...it wasn't that I didn't take the time, it is that I didn't want to hunt Oak Mountain. That doesn't mean I shouldn't be concerned about the precident that is being set for managing hunts on Alabama state parks does it?
You really don't get it do you? It only worked out that way because not many people applied. If more had applied you have said yourself you would "pick" who got to hunt. That is a bad precident to set for how we are going to select who gets to hunt on publicly owned land.
I'm not complaining about who is hunting this year, it worked out well for all involved. I am complaining that your selection process is a bad one and I certainly hope a better process will be in place for future hunts and that hunting on state parks can eventually be expanded to other state parks resulting in even more hunting opportunities.
Why do you think the lottery system is working in GA but not here?
