I really think it is important for all of us to contact our elected officials and tell them exactly how we feel (assuming everyone is registered and votes). I know I spend hundreds of hours a year hunting, shooting, scouting, planning, fishing etc. The least I can do is spend a half hour now and then to send a letter, email or make a call to let the people that REPRESENT US know how I feel!
