Pav has it correct on "political influence" as he and I were present in the "stakeholder meetings". We were told to meet one evening in the office of one of the NRC members, three NRC members were present(not even a quorun). When the meeting started The Chief of F&W was asked if Prop 1 would work and was supported by the department, the answer was yes. The NRC member then said a new proposal was going to be introduced and prop 1 pulled, the three NRC members then laid out prop 2. This was BEFORE the public comment period was complete.

Brew, you can keep telling a "story long enough until the general public believes it to be true, which you continue to do, but that does not make it factual or the truth.

I learned a lesson from that experience, government of any kind is not the will of the people, it is the will of those in charge. IDNR can not make ANY decision without approval of the NRC and the Governor, they are puppets. The IDHA will NEVER be put in the position they were with the deer management plan again. We will report on what IDNR is "trying to do", but supporting any idea they have, not going to happen.

Personally...... I've got mine and I will protect that....

Maybe you should jump on the canned hunting fight, it appears it is greased to go thru this year. As I said before in that post, the IDHA wont waste resources.......

Hope this helps you understand who really runs the "show". It isn't you or I.
