So I emailed Commissioner Carter

cant say much but at least he acknowledged my existance.. below is his reply.

Thanks Dusty for sharing your perspective. We will make sure the Commission is apprised of the sentiments of bowhunters such as yourself when they meet again in January.

Hmmm..
That reply sounds awfully familiar.

[bigcat24]

figure its the standard answer.

you bowhunters are just going to pee them off even more. just kidding of course

actually, I made the son of Parker aware of that post that was deleted here. They are avid hunters, his son is a traditional archery guy with shoulder quiver and feathers, muzzle loader even dressing in leather skins like the old days... he gets into that stuff big time. I can't understand how he or his father would be against bow hunting. Politics are a breed of their own and like deer season can make men do strange things.

Glad you are voicing your opinions to the people who are in charge of running our lands. Good luck.

Perhaps you can publish his email address and we can all email him. Nothing speaks so much as a full inbox.

Are they actually against bowhunting? Or are they just trying to extend the length of season for the kids? I was looking for the old post and can't find it.

They are trying to extend youth season, but are doing it at the expense of bow hunting.

Yes, I remember that. But, what I am forgeting is, are they just trying to extend youth season completely thru the month of Oct?

I was looking for it too, maybe it got heated and got wacked.

Carter will have very little, if anything, to say about this. It will be the commissioners that make the decision, not carter. You are better off e-mailing the commissioners.
