Eric,
I hope anything I posted is not viewed as an attack on you. I wish more guys were as giving as you and your family are in regards to what you donate to local events and it is greatly appreciated. I do have a hang up with MOGA and it started back with Jean Johnson so maybe it is just a case of hard feelings on my part. I am not anti outfitter and if it comes down to protecting private property rights I will be right there with you.
Having said that, MOGA and the FWP had to know that such a meeting, even with the best of intentions would rub everyone, not at the table, wrong. Especially looking at the calendar and knowing gray bills are being drafted now and sponors are being lined up for the January start of the Legislature.
Whether APF does or does not allow hunting that remains to be seen but I have lost access to more land from the Carrol Brothers and Mike Kinney than I have so far to the APF. I don't like APF any more than anyone else in Phillips or Valley County but they are here to stay.
Hell, I would have loved to hear the Dept.'s side of the story but they don't really care about explaining it to an average Joe hunter, I wonder why that it is? Seems like a strange way for a public agency to act.
