Now becasue they've made a different proposal from their standard form you chose to try, and make NYB out to be hypocrites.
Not trying anything - just pointing out the facts.
I'm VP of a ATV organization, and trust me you don't have time to contact every member on new proposals. How many times has the DEC shoved things down our throats without notifying all hunters? Did it ever cross your mind that maybe this needed to be done before the upcoming DEC meetings. Did it ever cross your mind that this proposal was done to be heard by all hunters attending these meetings? Did you know NYB changed locations, and addresses so the move very well could've tributed to the timing. Or maybe it was trying to work w/MLA on this proposal. But I guess you don't like to think of those things.
A list of excuses for a back door deal to let guns in the archery season - and the best week at that. The reason only a handful where in on it is because it would never fly with the membership who charged the board members with representing them by electing them. Someone saying they are keeping guns out of the bow season and that is why you should join them, and then they do a 180 deg flip is ok with you? It isn't for the vast majority of members that have responded so far.
I left this forum for awhile, becasue I got sick of all the negativity created on this site. I see alot of that hasn't changed.
Not agreeing and fighting with a proposal seen by many as a huge blow to the bow season is creating negativity?
Pointing out that it comes from a group that represents less then 1% of the bowhunters of the state is creating negativity? And in that group, there is a handful would run i and make such major policy changes with NO input from the members is creating negativity?
To be silent on these matters and let it slide thru unnoticed would not only be negative, but contribute to the decline of the bowseason sought by this proposal.
