Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 245997" data-attributes="member: 605">Nick,you did a good job. Maybe a little forceful. Everyone got a kick out of you being a lawyer and former prosecutor. Mark Mazahari did a great job. Great speaker. But you guys should have brought some REAL sportsmen. 1. Dick Monson...sponsor of the fair chase ballot measure 2008 and 20102. Mike McEnroe..retired federal USFWS lobbyist for the wildlife society These two elitist sportsmen took responsibility for accepting the $150,000 dollars from the Humane Society of the U.S. to fund their fair chase campaign.3. Lloyd Jones.....head of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. He was a sponsor of the fair chase initiative and was caught violating the Hatch Act. It is illegal to involve or give a position for the USFWS in a States rights issue. Lloyd recently retired. It is OK to testify like he did today on his "own" behalf. When he introduced himself as Lloyd Jones, did he mention he worked for the USFWS? I can't remember. If he did he should have been offering neutral testimony, not opposition. 4. Gary Masching.. sponsor of the fair chase measure. Too bad fishingbuddy threads are gone. There used to be one WHO THE HELL IS GARY MASCHING? His testimony didn't help today. Too, in your face. 5. Bill Helpfry……...Bowhunters Association. Bill was in the fair chase folly boiler rooms and knew the shit storm that was coming back when. He tried to involve the Bowhunters but they declined. Today, his testimony didn't help. The Senators kind of went after him. He contradicted himself.6. Carmen Miller....Ducks Unlimited. Enough said.To Nick and Mark, you two were in very poor company today. These 6 do not represent the average ND sportsmen. They represent the ND wildlife federation, wildlife society and ducks unlimited. federal controlled opposition orgs. Today there were four seated in the back wearing hunter orange. The leader was Al Sapa (wildlife society) they are trying to mimic Montanan's who do that. Terry Steinwand testified neutral. That is the way it is supposed to be. It was mentioned earlier someone figured the Governor told Game and fish to stand down. That is bogus. Government employees are supposed to be neutral. Anyway Steinwand mentioned they had several meetings between sportsmen and landowners. The first went well, the second blew up. Nick and Mark, if new meetings get underway to possibly amend a more favorable outcome to all, might I suggest finding some REAL sportsmen.</blockquote>
