GREAT NEWS!.............

SOrry Spike but it looks like your cause is rolling down hill like a snowball headed for he//

Amazing how all the "real sportmen" could have gotten it all wrong isnt it......

[gundude]

ALSO thanks to Kirk, Jack, Woody , Doug,Joe Bacon, Dick, Kyle Hupfer and others that I forgot mention. Your hard work convictions and dedication is truly appreciated. Thanks for taking a stand and helping to preserve TRUE Hoosier hunting ethics. The sport we love is now much stronger becuase of it.

HUNT ON!! FAIR CHASE AND CWD FREE!!!!!! ;D

Gundude-I`m with ya, except on the joe bacon thing. I have a real bone to pick with him and the idha-this 1-buck rule was a waste, and I won`t get into it here, but they crammed that down the throats of all of us.

Thats OK Hunter.. The fact is that all the names I have mentioned had a role in making sure the end result on this issue was achieved. I dont agree with everyone all the time either. Ask Joe, Jack, Woody, Whoever, I am sure they will tell you about times when I didn't agree, but when the chips are down we put everything aside and did the right thing.. Now we can go on and on and argue OBR or whatever later...... The fact is if our wild herd becomes infected with CWD then that argument would become null and void and we would all be taking up bowling instead of hunting...

It's a good day scooter.... REAL sportsmen prevailed in spite of our minor differences of opinion.....

Hunt on.

And the whole congregation said: Amen

Excellent, Congrats to everyone who emailed and talked to their legislators. Gundude as much as i hate to say it add your name to that list also. I know your speech at the meeting last year was the key to the whole thing.

Yeah, that "if you want a hooker, go to Vegas..." line was a classic... :-)

The NRC meeting next week will be the next hurdle... unless Mitch decides to stir the pot with some other administrative move to revive the buyout deal, which I would think would be political poison...

2006 legislative session is a done deal however....

I got a feeling we have not seen the last of this.

Shooting preserves will keep on raising it's ugly head both in the NRC and the legislature. It will be a constant battle from here on in.

My opinion - Give the shooting preserve operators 4 years to be devoid of their deer and then close them down for good. No replenishing of deer in the meantime.

Then they have no gripe coming.
