She asked if I was for or against. I told her for the way it passed the House. She seemed releaved, and told me she wanted to act quickly on the bill and would let me know.<br />So - looking pretty good in the Senate.Eric C.

Lots of interest in what we are doing to strengthen the Public Trust here in Vermont from the Fish and Wildlife directors and leaders of the national conservation groups. Orion has been invited to present a special session at next year's conference. <br />This effort is a great example of hunters speaking with one voice for the long range good of the resource and future generations.Eric C.

It is the dishonesty of hunters that people don't like. they talk of of restraint, conservation, woodsmanship, sharing, ethics and the like, yet their actions do not often reflect these things. They crowd sportsman shows to buy the latest gadget , to find the easiest, most exclusive place, to shoot the monster to be bragged of and claim they are in "touch with nature" as the corn spills from their prize they hope to put in a record book under their name. <br />Hunting needs reform, people are often a product of a society in which lazy, self centeredness, money driven "recreational", "competitive" hunting really needs review, and this situation brings these things to light. Saving nature from those who thwart the law is never a waste of time. The shame comes from those who considered these things unimportant the first time.<br /><br />Rodney ElmerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-31216873079563756412011-03-27T17:35:19.553-04:002011-03-27T17:35:19.553-04:00A long way from where we were last May.

Vermont is on the cusp of historic legislation that future generations will benefit from.<br />Special thanks to Reps. David Deen and Kate Webb for their diligence in pushing this along and Rep. Dusten Degree for staying true and bucking the party line.<br />We have 2 more hurdles, the Senate and then the Gov. signature. I believe both want this to move forward but it will be up to us to keep this in their sights.<br />Brian AmesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-40269457386048207852011-03-27T17:03:41.890-04:002011-03-27T17:03:41.890-04:00I was actually answering Anon 25th's question ...I was actually answering Anon 25th's question quite seriously - go to TX and look around - that's the answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-77463100783400222082011-03-26T17:00:01.673-04:002011-03-26T17:00:01.673-04:00Truth hurts doesn't it.Truth hurts doesn't it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-15605115234863637292011-03-26T08:12:47.572-04:002011-03-26T08:12:47.572-04:00and take Nelson with you - he'd fit in great a...and take Nelson with you - he'd fit in great as a land raperAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-26065766688936260372011-03-26T08:10:03.898-04:002011-03-26T08:10:03.898-04:00go to TXgo to TXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-57127669820406443582011-03-25T17:06:26.107-04:002011-03-25T17:06:26.107-04:00Well let's see.

One year has passed and:<br /><br />1) nobody else has attempted to gain ownership of deer.<br />2) hunting didn't suffer one bit<br />3) the deer herd didn't become the king's deer herd<br />4) cwd wasn't found in VT deer<br /><br />so, what's the point of even bothering. We don't live under a kings rule and fragmented property ownership ensures that what happened 800 years ago, can't happen now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-18374040392115173102011-03-25T12:31:02.249-04:002011-03-25T12:31:02.249-04:00nice work all - make sure the Senate gets the mess...nice work all - make sure the Senate gets the message.
