Walleye and Forage Fish Stocking in Utah

[quote doggonefishin][#8000ff]The key point IMO is here.

[/#8000ff] When citizens wrestle with accepting or rejecting scientific information, local knowledge of a situation by non-experts can trump the finding of experts (Weeks and Packard 1997, Weber and Word 2001). Taken in this social context, [#bf0000]accepting the validation results would have meant that sportsmen would have had to abdicate their personal status as local experts. [/#bf0000]

[#8000ff]It seems that there are a lot of local experts around that are certain that the DWR is lazy or incompetent and they know far more than the so called pros.[/#8000ff][/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Au contraire, monsieur! It doesn't seem at all - there ARE a lot of local experts (not) around that are absolutely certain that the DWR is lazy or incompetent and they know far more than the so called pros. And we should never confuse them with facts because their minds are already made up.
