As a 62 yr. old native West Virginian and a life-long hunter of the stateI may not always agree with what the legislature and the DNR decide regarding our natural resources. But, I'd much rather have them decide the fate of hunting in WV than an outside organization with no knowledge of wildlife conservation. The open hunting of those counties should be based upon sound biological practices. Many of our counties still do not have fall turkey season because spring harvest numbers do not show turkeys in sufficient numbers. What's next shall PETA and the like also have a voice in our state's conservation practices?

What I don't understand is why everyone is thinking NRA is deciding anything for you. They are not. They are just pushing for something or campaigning if you will on behalf of thier members in those counties. Its really that simple. WV DNR has not once said they will do what the NRA tells them to do. Its fairly rediculus to think otherwise.
