Post by: duckmen1 on September 23, 2022, 10:51:42 AM: Commission needs an overhaul. Commission for wildlife and conservation. Not political agenda. We are in a sad state with what is going on and the loss hunters and fisherman keep facing. We have false hope for our state. But some hope is better than no hope. Always pray for a turn around. Try to spread a good word for hunters and fisherman and do our part.

And a nightmare!

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but how bad was it?

The "state" needs an overhaul. I have no hope for our state, unless we can unload the corruption of murray, van dewedgie, and insleez. Folks need to overhaul their voting and move on from status quo and seek honesty for the people not just who votes for you. If you dont vote for those incumbents, they havent the time of day for you.

You can only be a constituent or the enemy.

Post by: jrebel on September 23, 2022, 02:38:56 PM: This meeting is a train wreck....Lorna has made up her mind and she is very clear that it will not change. She is unwilling and unable to open her mind to any side other than her own....tree hugging, environmental terrorist!! She is unfit to sit on the commission if she cannot be open minded. She has contradicted herself multiple times. These meetings get my blood pressure higher than it needs to be.

Post by: HillHound on September 23, 2022, 02:57:35 PM: Me too. I can’t watch her, it is infuriating how close minded she is. If only Rowland and Smith would follow through with their recorded promise of shooting them selves in the head if they were forced to do their job and discuss spring bear season again. If not for the other many reasons that alone, threatening self harm if forced to do your job, In a recorded meeting should get them both kicked off the commission. They are the most unprofessional group of animal rights activists I’ve ever seen.

Post by: Special T on September 23, 2022, 03:04:28 PM: I could be wrong on this and I'm only 3/4 through listening... but it appears that the Antis are stuck. They can't won't clarify to make a hard stand for or against spring bear, BECAUSE of thier previous justification of needing more info. They don't want to be put on the record or have a detailed explanation for voting against spring bear. To me stalling seems like the tactic they are after. Delay seems to be the preferred tactic of anti hunters.

It's either a stall tactic....or they are truly that ignorant that they have no clue what they are doing.
