How was the popcorn Woody? Hey, I saw that Jack bought it. Is he trying to " butter" you up? Did he unfurl that sleeping bag? There was an unruly crowd in the hallway outside the room. A CO came out twice and told them to pipe down. This aint gonna be pretty...

Thank you highcottonguide....nice seing you again.. I really would have liked for everyone that attended (both sides)to get to speak. I guess time constraints did not allow it? I came away with a pretty good feeling that the NRC is listening to us. I did no feel that way before the meeting. jjas, As Yogi always said,"It ain't over, till it's over". They said that the PCRs and the youth either sex passed either but they prevailed... keep the faith.. we cant roll over. Woody, I wish I shared your optimism. We'll see what happens. Have you seen the petition on the "other site"? I saw it, but told him I couldn't sign it as I like SOME of the stuff. Especially the kids can fill their bonus tags. The others needs quite a bit of tweaking..

Good to see ya again today Woody. Folks Woody stayed away from the popcorn until a certain moment in the meeting. Glad ya got to speak. I could see the frustration when they told ya they were done with speakers. Thank god Gundude is loud and obnoxious. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I made it this morning and he snatched it from me before I got in the door!

agree. I would prefer a simple addition of giving actual numbers instead of percentages but I could live with the way you said it. NO group gives raw numbers. They say " We are against it or for it." The end.. To give raw numbers would lose the "Perception.." If they lose that they cant get it back.. I think you make a good point swilk. I know we don't all agree on here and I think it would work well to state numbers and percentages. Heck, even if Woody gave close estimates of % for and agin, it probably would be more honest than the "blanket 100% for" statements I heard today.

Woody what was your testimony? I like you agree with some of the proposed changes.
I wonder how of the changes would cause a hunter not to buy a tag?

To do so would be dishonest. Not all members think the same way. swilk, that might be true but the IDHA and IBA are pushing for this rule change and all their members are not for it......not much difference in my opinion. h.h. Exactly H.H.!

Horse hockey.......Ive talked personally with members of the board and others in the DNR!!!!!!!! Be involved, organize and be counted. I think this whole thing is great. Perhaps hunters will wake up now.... Nah probably not.Just do the finger pointing thing over and over and over again..

A partial quote from a former member of this site. I hope he doesnt mind me using it. If he does he wont hesitate letting me know
[QB] Now you can sit at your keyboard and complain and moan about all the bad things going on in your world or you can get out there and try and make a difference. The system is not so broken and it does work IF you have a valid goal and enough perserverance to see it through.
If you love your sport you need to work for it in ALL ways even the political ones.
HatchetJack [/QB][/QUOTE]

Honestly by signing the petition they can come back with new improved rules yes it will temporally make them remove all the changes but they will an should come back with the good ones as they are supported and the bad one . I think the petition is fine as is the kids will and have altered y got their seasons this is the least of our worries at this point there is pain with all battles and some losses.
JMHO if you disslike any portion of this sign it and get it gone.
