Attention both Utah residents and nonresidents:

If you are against giving away your public land big game tags to a private organization (SFW) who peddles them off but refuses to disclose how 2.5 million $ of the proceeds are spent……………………please sign the petition at the link below ASAP. Utah’s back door politics buddy buddy system has gone out of control. This is about lack of accountability involving the sale of a public resource. No brainer.

A grossly disproportionate % of these 200 trophy tags were stolen from the nonresident quota to begin with! I don’t know how anyone could not sign this petition except SFW employees!

Thanks to everyone. Please tell your hunting friends or just plain tax paying friends! We are trying to get the number over 1,000 before I will be contacting SLC media for hopefully some TV coverage.

Zim,

signed up.

I'm sure you know more about this than I.

my suggestion would be at max, have the state run it, and have 1 raffle tag, and at max 1 auction style tag per species. I think some of these states give out more than 5 or 10 tags per species for private organizations etc...?

5 or 10? That would be a dream. A few states still do that, but it gets worse each year. Utah is now over 500. 200 of which are involved in this unaccountability scam. For the balance, 90% of the proceeds are supposedly accounted for and go to the UTDOW........supposedly. However, I even question that.

I for one am amazed SFW got away with this for 4 years or so. Shady backroom deals. The mastermind of this Utah scam needs to go to jail with Blagojavich.

Quinn should be sent to jail as well based on what he is doing to our IDNR.

Petition is signed.
