Looks like they did add short range hunts as a temporary solution.

Not really. When it comes to hunting/fishing the majority rules. Why? Because G&F departments depend SOLELY on hunters/fishers to fund them as only very few state wildlife departments get any tax money. Thus regulations are kind of set by popular vote, look at PA's deer problem.

Looks like the majority maybe dumping on Idaho, or at least they are feeling some serious heat.

Education is the key to getting outdoorsman to change thier minds. I.E. Wildlife departments pushing doe harvest, when before it was "buck only" attitude. Not sure there is any "education" that can be done with this subject.
