RE: Post your take on the NY DEC meetings across the state
The group I sat next to included bowhunters, two guys who have run shops, and some farmers. Its a shame, because the crowd was often a bit unprofessional, and definitely uninformed on deer management, etc. But the overwhelming theme was that the proposed MZ week is assinine. Like Phade said, a good suggestion, by Steve VanZile was to offer a way to vote on these initiatives when buying a license. After that we were embarrassed by catcalls, arguments over landowner rights, coyote kills and even farmers for not leaving crop in the fields for deer. Good grief!
