I lifted this from the IDHA website. Joe Bacon and I serve together on the FWCC (Fish & Wildlife Conservation Committee) and we try to work with the other conservation groups to advise IDNR:
The following are bills presently making their way thru the Legislature and the position voted and taken by the Fish&wildlife Conservation Committee on 1/20/07......
HB 1146, Taking of wild animals w/spotlight and silencer (DNR personel for airports and such) SUPPORT
-HB 1299, Senior fishing license, SUPPORT with NO Lifetime license
-HJR 0007, Constitutional right to hunt and fish SUPPORT, BUT BAUER HAS TRIED TO KILL SO EVERYONE NEEDS TO CONTACT THEIR LEGISLATOR
- HB1272, spotlighting wild animals SUPPORT
- HB 1066, Hunting and fishing licenses free for disabled NO SUPPORT
- HB 1294, Hoosier Stop Hunger Fund, NO SUPPORT
- HB 1285, License agent services fees NO SUPPORT

- HB 1226, Payment to CO of violations, NO SUPPORT
- HB 1057, Lifetime licenses again, NO SUPPORT
- HB 1170, littering, $1,000 fine mandatory, SUPPORT
- HB 1322, Mineral Extraction of fish and wildlife properties, SUPPORT
- SB 0357, Sale of nursery stock and wildlife seeds, NO OPINION

- HB 1251, Plan review by NRC SUPPORT
- HB 1309, Reservoir funding (Bischoff request for $30 million to build a reservoir in Decatur County to provide water to Greensbury and Honda) NO POSITION
The SUPPORT, NO SUPPORT OR NO OPINION was a group decision.
Today I met with Rep. Bischoff today with the Executive Director of the IWF, John Goss. We presented these positions to him as Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee and received consensus on most of these issues.
The ones we did not agree on were:
Senior Fishing License (HB1299)
Payments to CO of violations (HB1226)
Constitutional Amendment for the Right to Hunt and Fish (HJR0007)
HB1226 already shot through the House and is in the Senate. Call your state senator and try and stop this bill if you will. We will try and convince the legislature to pass the senior fishing license and the constituional amendment. Join the fight and get on the phones and email and let's let them know what we want.
