I've talked hunting with him once, at a Wenatchee Sportsmans Association game feed; don't recall how much he hunts, he likes to ask smart hunting questions so he's not a bad pick IMHO. Plus, he's a Chelan County boy.

Don't know anything about the other two.

Title: Re: Gregoire Appoints 3 Commission Members
Post by: DOUBLELUNG on June 22, 2009, 03:12:56 PM: He's definitely supportive of hunting - I just don't know how much he does himself.

Post by: Dave Workman on June 22, 2009, 07:10:30 PM: Rollie was director when I was at F&H News in the early days and we got along fine. He is definitely not somebody to piss down your back and tell you it's raining (as have some people...)

He's smart, he understands that people hunt and why, that anglers fish and why, and I think he deserves a chance.

Post by: bearpaw on June 26, 2009, 06:44:23 PM: So far it sounds like at least 1 in 3 should be favorable to hunting. Does anyone know anything about the other two appointments?
