Ther's a lot of uninformed, "uneducated" (basically ingnorant) people out there. And the big problem is they are generally the most vocal. What was the outcome of your meeting? Where there any common threads, like at my meeting. Our meeting was fairly civilized. Like I said, I think most of the people were and the "same" page (or at least turning to the same page). That suprised me somewhat.

The point I have tried to make in the past is that if we (as hunters) don't present a somewhat united front on these and other issues, nothing (good) will get accomplished. Our meeting had some of that (ie - no ML in Bow, but need to have expanded ML). Some spoke of compromise, which I think is key, but many are too narrow-minded.

Keep the posts on the meetings coming. I sure hope that more than 3 of us here attended. And for all those that complain, when the final regs are passed, I sure hope you can say that you spoke at a meeting or at least sent letters/comments.
