Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark Mazaheri" data-source="post: 241457" data-attributes="member: 5087">Yesterday another bill came up, sponsored by the regular group of Legislators who generally refuse to support Resident Hunters.  Notably, Senator Erbele is probably the most anti-hunter, though Senators Klein and Unruh are close behind.  Of the House sponsors, Reps Brandenberg and Nelson haven't been too supportive of resident sportsmen, either, but Dick Anderson has always been willing to listen.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td><a href="https://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/66-2019/documents/19-0407-01000.pdf" target="_blank">SB2201</a>          </td><td>Active          </td><td>01/17/2019 - 10:00AM          </td><td>Allows a nonresident to purchase a waterfowl license that is valid for three four-day periods for $200, and $50 of the fee must be used for the Private Land Open To Sportsmen program. </td></tr></table>This same proposal has been brought forward several times by the same group.  Senator Jessica Unruh from Beulah is Chair of Senate Natural Resources Committee.  She has not shown great support for Resident Hunters and her sponsorship of this bill is reason to be concerned, as it could impact the fairness of the hearing.Another sponsor, Jerry Klein from Fessenden, took the PETA stance while arguing for a similar bill last session; basically saying 7 day hunts were too hard on the dogs and they needed an opportunity to rest.  Seriously.  He said it.  Please contact the members of the Senate Natural Resources Committee and ask them to vote NO on SB2201.  Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee contact info: Chair Jessica Unruh, Beulah <a href="http://jkunruh@nd.gov" target="_blank"> [email]jkunruh@nd.gov[/email]</a> Vice Chair Curt Kreun, Grand Forks, <a href="mailto:ckreun@nd.gov">ckreun@nd.gov </a> Dwight Cook, Mandan  <a href="http://dcook@nd.gov" target="_blank">dcook@nd.gov</a>Merrill Piepkorn, Fargo <a href="mailto:mpiepkorn@nd.gov">mpiepkorn@nd.gov</a>Jim Roers, Fargo  <a href="mailto: [email]jroers@nd.gov[/email]">  [email]jroers@nd.gov</a>[/EMAIL]Don Schaible, Mott <a href="mailto:dgschaible@nd.gov">dgschaible@nd.gov</a>Hopefully I didn't miss any committee members.  As I stated in the beginning of this thread; you may disagree, but I simply won't have time to address every concern that comes up in this forum.  The discussion of issues is a positive thing, as long as we keep it clean.Contact those Senators TODAY.  If you don't do it, no one else will.</blockquote>
