Default RE: Snowmobilers No friend of any WI Deer hunter

Well, here is one snowmobiler that does not consider himself lumped with those who spoke out against the hunting season. I belong to numerous hunting organizations and I also belong to a snowmobile club. I enjoy both sports and activly support both. These snowmobilers who showed up must be from extreme northern Wisc. Our club is from Ozaukee county, and in no way, is trying to disrupt any hunting season. Now some of you are saying that because I am in a club, that means I belong to the whole allience of snowmobilers, which is very true. We very seldom get enough snow here to begin sledding before the holidays. And because the majority of the land here is private, we have to respect the landowners or we might as well give it up. I have made it known to our club president, as well as the AWSC president, that I will quit the AWSC if this type of b.s. keeps continuing. I have written a letter and spoke with a JCRAR represenative with my concerns prior to this meeting because I was unable to attend. Those snowmobilers that attended obviously don't realize that our hunting heritage was here way before snowmobiling got big. I will always fight for hunting over snowmobiling. This is very hard for me right now because I like both sports and there is no reason for both groups to get along. I do not support the testimony from those snowmobilers. Did anyone out there mention that 16 of the last 22 snowmobiling seasons didn't start until Dec 20 because of lack of snow? Did anyone mention that there has never been a snowmobiler that was killed from a stray arrow?

Thank you for posting this logs. My AWSC membership might now be cancled a little earlier now.
