KGAINES

Here are a few things to know about me. I was born in AZ and have lived here most of my life, I am divorced and have three kids, two girls with a son in the middle. I have enjoyed fishing and hunting for most of my life, fishing was first with hunting coming later, my dad liked to fish more than anything, but he did like to bird hunt, big game hunting followed that with a little encouragement from me. I had no idea the political nature of hunting really until joining this site, after attending a commission meeting I figured I needed to do a little more. I attended an ADA meeting and joined that night, hopefully more people see that hunting needs all the people it can get to have their voices heard in the future, be it in a group or as an individual to keep our commissioners eyes open to what the public wants. If we don't the department will continue to use skewed surveys to dictate how we hunt in the future.
