All that I can say is this: If you live and hunt in CA, get involved. Read up on the proposals, do some research, and attend those meetings.
Anyone can be an armchair quarterback, believe me, I have heard it thousands of times:
"I didn't know about this", "How come I wasn't told", "I don't have time to get involved, but you guys should let us know"
If you don't like it, do something about it. If not, don't complain about it, especially to the guys that give a damn, and make the sacrifice.
Endless road trips to meet with legislators and game officials. Endless meetings. Endless phonecalls, emails, and letters.
C'mon, you're not just helping Preston, you're helping yourself.
