Good to hear. Now I really feel like I don’t understand the process. Guess I’ve got some learning to do.

Keep texting or calling them before Monday.

I still cant really get over the fact that 139 was engineered just to screw the proposal up.

The guy either loves forky skull caps as part of his taxidermy business or has something against the group.

Aint through yet, this still has to go back to the floor for another reading. We have heard from several that voted to reconsider but will stay a "no" on the actual bill. I don't understand the logic behind that but it's their words not mine.

Who changed votes?

I had hoped to be there in person. Looks like I'll have to testify online.

Reminder - its pretty easy to testify remotely. It likely takes less time than even one of your posts here, and does a lot more good.

The sniveling crowd who feels its govt over reach to fill out a harvest survey after hunting is loud outside of HT. If you want HB564 and decent data on whats going on with the resource on the landscape - please testify and/or contact your legislator.

So, why is 635 such a bad bill?

What are the benefits and what were the costs? Who benefits and how?

Answer those questions - and unless you can afford a rich guys ranch to get a gimme elk permit in a LE unit i think youll find out.
