Do-gooders at it again. On September 10th the Oregon Game Commission received a petition presented by a consortium of anti groups including Oregon Wild, Cascadia, Audubon, etc, etc to ban beaver trapping on all federal lands in the state of Oregon.
It was through a similar petition effort that they successfully got a trapping ban installed on much of the Oregon coast to hypothetically protect the Humboldt marten sub-species.
Our game commission is evenly split with anti-trappers and those that we can count on. So we shall see how it plays out. The best case scenario is that the petition is not accepted and we just move on. Not gonna count on that.

Didn't we all comment on this to get this shot down just months ago? How can they just start a new BS proposal all of a sudden?

Two different deals. In June they asked our game commission to shut down the Siuslaw National forest. It was not brought to a vote. Now they came forth with a 200 page petition asking to ban beaver trapping on all public land in Oregon. A much bigger and badder deal.

I worry that in the end yall will be fighting a loosing battle out there on the left coast but that does not mean you should give up the fight.
I myself cringe to think of all the little spotted owls BBQ'd these last few weeks. Maybe yall should get these do-gooders some crayons and coloring books to occupy their time.

I guess that's the largest difference of folks who are right of center and those who are left of center. Conservatives and libertarian generally want to leave people alone, if "you don't bother me, I won't bother you" sort of attitude. Left of center people, especially hard-core liberals and progressives, are never satisfied until they have "control" and everything is "their way". They can't let people just be, their universe isn't in order until they control and line up all the toys they think it should be. Then again, this isn't anything new, people have to mess with other people since the fall of man...

Owl PM me your email address and I can forward you the file that I received. It's just now happening so not much is out there publicly yet.
