Delaney has it correct, in the last change of rule proposals the NRC called a meeting of IDNR and several sportsmen groups. The meeting was held in the evening at a business on the north side of Indy, there was no a quroum of NRC members, just three. Those three NRC members told IDNR exactly how the rules would be changed. This was over objections of the Chief of Fish&Wildlife and the deer biologist along with the sportsmen groups. We could not move gun season, it would then conflict with Illinois gun opener, two of the three NRC members also hunt Illinois!

I was present at that meeting and watched how rule changes REALLY happen. It was the last time I(or will) participate in the proccess.
