This simply is not true and is a colossal fallacy to project as an absolute truth.

Yea out of state influences as to what goes on here at the state level shouldn't happen. It would be like us voting on who the governor of North Dakota should be.

You can vote for the governor of whatever state you're registered in.

It is a national park and a national forest anybody in the country can influence the decision. If only local people influenced there would be no NPs or NF because they are the people that make $$$ out of exploiting them. Locals should have the same influence as any body else.

If they were only for locals they wouldn't be national parks.

Well, let's see about that. I'm always happy to learn.
I use the term "sport hunting" to mean hunting for any reason other than meat, and if hunting for meat, that the value of the meat exceeds the costs of obtaining it. I already explained why I use this definition, so I'm not interested in mincing words.
This study found that 12% of Montana hunters listed getting meat as the top reason they hunt.
https://www.animalsandsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/eliason.pdf
The 12% figure does not directly map to my concept of sport hunting, but it nevertheless strongly suggests that my major claim is correct. I would say that 88% is consistent with "almost all."
I would be very interested in reading about any data that goes the opposite way.

Like you said "you" use the term "sport hunting" to define the other percentage of reasons hunters hunt. Which is fine for "you" to classify all other reasons for hunting into one category. That appears to work for you, while others may define it differently. Each has their own view and that doesn't make it right or correct for all.
It's like saying 8% of the Tesla a owners buy the car for the way it looks. Then the other 92% buy it to save gas.

Everything should be decided by democracy, because the so-called experts don't have knowledge and can't be trusted. For example, the structural design integrity of a bridge should be decided by democracy, not civil engineers. Strategies for public health issues, e.g., Covid, should be decided by democracy because biologists and doctors don't have knowledge and can't be trusted. Accounting standards should be decided by democracy because accountants don't have knowledge and can't be trusted.
And ESPECIALLY wildlife and forestry issues should be decided by democracy because wildlife and forestry managers especially don't have knowledge and can't be trusted.
Many people on this forum know at least as much as civil engineers know about bridge building, as much as pathologists know about pathology, as much as lawyers know about law, and certainly as much as wildlife and forestry managers know about animals and trees. These are the people who should be making decisions, not the so-called "experts" who went to school and studied this stuff.

Wildlife issues should be science based decision making and field Biologist's input given the highest priority. Not by some anti hunter commissioner appointed by a governor that doesn't abide by the WAC requirement for diversity.
