Unbelievable, it actually passed. I've learned in the past 10 years that legislators are idiots. $700,000 of the Game Commission dollars could be used elsewhere.
Time to write your Senators. They will be back in chambers on January 7th.

It's not a done deal just yet.....it still has to pass the Senate. the senate is sontrolled by the Democrats, and I was told they are against it.....We'll just have to wait and see.

Is anything being said on the pphas behalf? Or are we going to wait and see? :-[

First we would have to know where the clubs stands on the subject. I know everyone has a different opinion so let's hear them!

I'm against it even though I could make a few hundred extra bucks. That money needs to stay in the game fund for something useful.

I'm against it. I agree the money could be used somewhere else.

Another waste of our hunting funds.....next think this a@#hat will bring to the table will be a state funded
research project wondering where's the best place to grow mushrooms!

I'm against it.
Here is an idea. How about the district reps e-mail or call their members for their opinion. Forward those to the committee chair and vote to act or drop it based on the findings. The decision can then be posted on the board so the members know where the club stands on the position. Just saying.

Tim, You have a great idea. Perhaps is the membership individually gets involved and floods them with phone calls and e mails, we may have more of an impact. I listed a link below to assist the membership in making that contact.

I think its a bad idea. You're gonna get every idiot out there gunning for everything that moves.

swarter2.....i agree just because there is a bounty on yotes they will think they can hunt on property with out getting permission and could give the rest of us a bad rep......VERY BAD
