I asked about bigtex because he seems to have a bias regarding this legislation.  He certainly has a right to refuse to say where he works and in what capacity, but if he has a "horse in the race" or a "dog in the fight" it would only be honorable to say so.

Another idea that has been brought up as a possible solution that I wanted run it past this group for input:

It has been suggested that if they put a fee on the HE classes maybe that fee could be credited toward the first hunting license purchase. I thought that was a pretty good idea, any thoughts on that?
The obvious question is why are so few graduates hunting? It is clear that some students come to class to learn about firearms, not to prepare for hunting. Parents may think that sending their children to a class that costs $5 is a great way to learn about firearm safety, and to some extent they're correct. Other students that plan to hunt don't for a variety of reasons.

 :yeah:
I think sometimes it is dad pressure on the child to hunt, and they end up not wanting to. It may be at the end of the class there is a fear of firearms. Think of it another way, why as kids get older are they less and less likely to play in sports?

In a word...GIRLS

I've known people that start hunting later in life and I've known kids that started hunting early.  At 16 I wasn't very interested in spending my weekends in the woods.

Set the hook early.

it was then that you realized the effort wasn't worth it and went back to the woods.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Thanks!  I would love to take credit it for it, but I cannot.  I saw it on the internet.  Some attribute it all the way back to Ben Franklin, but that is disputed.  It doesn't matter to me who said it first though, because its stark truth really drives home the point!

Under the house "substitute" bill, the criminalization aspect of the bill is dropped. It will now be a natural resource infraction (fine only).

That's something, now we need to get the "licensed" part removed from the qualifying adult.  This is an absolutely outrageous State money grab.  The only thing this will accomplish is to remove licensed hunters from the state.

I'm sending another round of emails.
