[QUOTE="BrockW, post: 413447, member: 5910"] Thanks for saving me time and posting that up! Much appreciated. Yes, we will lobby to kill another similar baiting bill when it comes back in the 2025 session. I disagree. Those folks have less enthusiasm than folks like you and many others on this forum. Enthusiasm and passion is the one thing the hunting and angling community has in spades. The problem is that this crowd tends to sit on forums like this, pissing and moaning, peddling conspiracy theories, and performing mental gymnastics to try and justify selfish interests (baiting for example). The folks you talk about aren’t here. They’re out there working and communicating. Having conversations and advocating for what they want. The Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation doesn’t have any malicious intent. They aren’t trying to stick it to hunters and anglers. I know, because instead of complaining on here or FB, I went and got a meeting with them and other project stakeholders. There was grant money available to fund a project that got approved by the city and that was supported by the community. So they pursued that project. That grant money was going to get spent anyway. That’s what it’s there for. I intend to do the same thing. Use grant money that’s going to get spent anyway. Might as well make sure it gets spent on something that benefits hunters and anglers.
