Seems to me if the DEC was so concerned about what the public thought they'd sch. more than 1 or 2 meetings in each area. Plus not hold them during N. archery season too boot. They certainly held alot more than that when the DEC wanted to change the Southern Reg. season opener to a Saturday. I'll have to see what's going on the night of the Syracuse meeting. If its a nice evening I'm sure I'd much rather be in my treestand, trying to fill a leftover tag.
