January 2024 NRC meeting

[hatchetjack]

Agenda item#5 probably affects every hunter in the state. Some I agree with, some I don't, and some I don't know enough about at this time to have an opinion. Could be a very long meeting.

If this proposal does away with Archery and Muzzleloader licenses being either sex I believe that’s a mistake that makes them hunters buy 2 licenses to shoot the first deer they see the same as Gun licenses do now!

Maybe a either sex license is needed for the ONE deer folks..... when someone buys 2 licenses they mostly likely will then kill 2 deer! IMO


Everything else looks great in this proposal IMO

Both the otter bill and the deer bill were passed by the NRC preliminarily. Oddly, no one testified on the deer bill. A few (3?) were allowed to testify on the otter bill and then they cut off testimony. Not good. However public meetings must be held on both proposals now. So maybe next time they will let Tom Morelock speak for the trappers.

Emily Black is the new legislative liaison.
