turkeyneck Report post Posted Friday at 01:39 PM It is not easy to email the commissioners from the above emails. Not sure if it was intended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, that’s how leg hold traps were banned on public lands. I believe it was Prop 200 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn’t there but watched what I could, basically they let CBD spokesman talk and then AZGFD biologist gave his presentation. Next hours of blue card speakers for and against and then 3 seconds for the commission to deny both petitions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
68OLDS Report post Posted Friday at 11:34 PM I wasn't there but watched the webcast. The Commission started off by taking public comments followed by a short presentation by the AZGFD staff. After that more public comment was taken. The overwhelming majority of public speakers opposed the two petitions. It was an incredible show of unity among all sportsmen and women, and even some amazing kiddos who spoke. The AZGFD recommended to deny both petitions at which the Commissioners unanimously voted to deny. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted yesterday at 03:05 AM 3 hours ago, CatfishKev said: What's the biologists have to say about it? Jim Heffelfinger presented. He’s about as good as they come. He reviewed the claims put forth by the petition. Then he discredited each while citing sources and data. It was a perfect example of science based conservation and wildlife management. I hope it gets shown everywhere. It’s obvious Jim likes the spotlight, and we are lucky to have him. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
