All CDAC Committee quota recommendations approved as presented with no changes. I missed about 10 minutes of the question and answer session as I was on a phone call, but I do not believe there was any mention whatsoever of the fact that some of the counties failed to have a quorum for their final quota recommendation vote. I can't go back and watch the parts I missed until the live broadcast is over and they post the simulcast. Lots of congratulations and back patting going on about what a success the whole thing was, but not any mention of the failures in that area. The guy from the WI Wildlife Foundation who spoke stated that public participation was at a 3 year low for input on deer related issues, I don't know where they got their info from, but I would have thought the exact opposite with all the surveys and online stuff that was available. We have never had the amount of opportunities to give input as we have had over the last 12-18 months? Maybe everyone thought the CDAC Committees had it covered? I will be sending an email to all the board members later this week addressing the shortcomings of the Committees and their apparent lack of commitment to the public input on the preliminary recommendations, even though it is too late for this go around. This must be brought to their attention for future quota setting purposes. If they are just going to go with the preliminary number in the end, why even have the public comment on those preliminary quota numbers? In the Juneau Co Forest Zone, there was overwhelming feedback saying the preliminary tag quota was too high. From the ones I read, which was all of them, I saw only 5 or 6 of 60 plus replies that thought the numbers were good or should be raised, the other 90%+ of the respondents stated it was excessive, and to what end?
