Really? Had you pegged for animal husbandry industry.
I had to google that. I’m using that from now on.

Uncle, I'm sure John Bradley is a nice guy and you met him at a Pheasants Forever Banquet. He gets paid to attend a lot of functions. What a great job to be a community organizer sent here by the National wildlife federation.
These groups did a great job representing all sportsmen on this issue. They did not have their heels dug in on this issue and were open to the app discussion but wanted to ensure it will ACTUALLY WORK. We have seen that it is the ag special interest groups that don’t want to give an inch and thi is proven by their actions in the legislature this year. Us sportsmen are tired of their smoke screens and we can see right through it, and this time there will be consequences for their poor political decisions.No thanks,
SB 2315 is one of those where hours and hours went into committees etc. I think the green yellow red app had merit. The Bill was ground, tasted, re-ground re-tasted, again and again and still became something that everyone could barely chew and the division no could stomach.
I'm not running for anything. Maybe a paid executive directors job would be good though. That's what pisses me off most. Attend a ND Sportsmen's Caucus event and everyone is being paid to be there except me.

TFX,
Your post is more spot on than you think. When the Representative said illegitimate, I believe that was frustration. Legislators, private property owners, ranchers/farmers would like to talk to hunters. Not the same guys representing orgs with their heels dug every time. And then the unbelievable happens. Sportsmen are all placed under one umbrella with no distinction made.
SB 2315 | Not Concurred | A | Do Not Concur | Agriculture | Do Not Concur | Erbele | Luick |
the hunters/fishers/hikers are expected to individually represent themselves while farmers/ranchers can allow groups/orgs to represent them
gotcha
If I understand this right the Senate refused to concur with the House vote so now 2315 goes to Conference Committee. (???) Two members from each chamber discussus amendments and then it goes back to each chamber for another vote. If one votes Nay at that time it's dead. Correct? They are going to move this process fast.

Yep. Not allowed to lobby at a national level either.
Ducks Unlimited national lobby money spent in 2018: $320,000
Farm Bureau national lobby money spent in 2018: $3 million plus.
Having never hunted in Texas, I saw an article recently that claimed they did away with posted signs by going to the color purple. Basically, paint portions of your fence in purple (or trees) and that is recognized as a permanent (to the current landowner) no hunting or trespassing sign.
Can anyone elaborate on this concept and how well it has worked in reality?
My wife's grandpa and grandma were from Arkansas and they had a lavender color paint for posting up land. Its been many years since I was down there but back when we did go down there, you always seen paint on posts, trees and telephone poles. Grandpa said it was easier than hanging up signs.
Funny many people keep bringing this back up. I proposed this idea via email to all the legislators as thinking of a way to make it easier to post. Many of the replies were rude saying that I was just another sportsman that wasn’t giving in and coming to the table. Some legislators even threatened to post up all their land now and not allow anyone to hunt.
Says the guy that wants his opinions moved to private message. You’re one of a kind Davey.
[/B][/I][/U] Post them if you have them otherwise it didn't happen.
Didn't you watch? The guy stood up and hollered it on the house floor before the vote?
