Bigcountry & Bowhuntingfool,
You are exactly right the NRA is not directly controlling the DNR or WV Legislature with regards to hunting in any part of our state. But with the leverage that the NRA exerts nationally on the political scene with candidate and part endorsements they sure have a say in what transpires. That same influencenow focused on the WV legislatures will probably have an impact on each of them for sure. According to Sproulman's comments it made a difference in PA. I can only hope that the WVDNR stands by sound game management practices when deciding the fate of the subject counties. I have no interest in hunting down there but I only hope that outside forces don't decide our state's wildlife mangement policies.
