A Few Steps Ahead Of You
First i want all of you to know this is not meant to irritate anyone, and my intentions are seriously "just to know why"
I am a "New" IBA member and am adamately against the proposed leglislation changes......
but
I spent a combined 4.5 hours in contact with state individuals via email and phone, regarding the past issue of the extended shotgun season, as i know many of you did. It seemed to me that they had their mind made up WAY before we, the hunters even caught wind of it! Thus making it seem like our voices didnt really matter...... this really bothered me, i know it takes LOTs of voices to be heard, not just one or even a few, but a majority. However, even if every hunter in the state called and said they didnt like it, i feel the state would have gone ahead with it anyhow.....
so, with the threat of doubling the NR tag pool and making NR landowners tags more readily available, etc. etc. what makes this any different?
i have had one conversation with a "high Ranknig" Biologist and he made it sound like all state officials, biologist and DNR personel are in support of this increase.....
once again, it seems to me like the decision has already been made by the individuals who are responsible for actually making the call.
my question is this.... (and i mean no disrespect!!!!)
why bother to voice my opinion if the decision has already been made???
I honestly want to know how my shared opinion can change this potential mistake?
(im gonna say this one more time.... im not "firing rockets" at any of you IBA reps, or any one who is involved politically, i just want to know.)
Thanks!!!!!!!
