Here is my idea. It would be wise to set up a half-million dollar contest. I know in some of the minds here in Utah that would be "gambling", or perhaps not.
By having some sort of contest that would offer a huge some of money. Thats right, a half-million dollars. Whoever catches the most carp wins a half-million.
Millions of our tax dollars are being spent to rescue the June Sucker. I read both sides of the story. And it sounds like some BFTers are for in favor of taxes being spent, and some don't approve.
OK fine. How about a half-million dollar contest. Without spending tax dollars—and I hate the government spending our money on whatever the blank they want to.[mad] Ugh!
I'm serious. Here is my idea: just have fisherman in our state donate to this contest. Simple as that. Until one half-million dollars is reached. If the DWR insist they could ask for these donations either while purchasing a Utah fishing license. Or through promotion of one form or another.
Too me this would be fun and a great idea. The contest could go on for about two years. Thats a long time but it would put a dent in the carp population. For 500 grand it would be well worth two years of "whoever catches the most carp wins"!
