Steve's post on the AZSFW Facebook is in reference to the attempt last year to keep all the Special Big Game tags that are currently available in Arizona. Suzanne made a presentation at a WCC meeting asking if the idea had support from the WCC members of the AZSFWC. It didn't get any traction except by the ADA and they took it to the Commission.

Got a resignation on the page last night. One down... This guys letter sounded pretty sincere. Maybe he will start to get the rest of the guys who fell for the BS out too and help us eliminate this band of thieves!

Toby,

 

Maybe you don't know me. Allow me to introduce myself to you. I am an Arizona native and an avid outdoorsman. I don't guide or own a business. I work in civil service.

 

It appears as though you are not familiar with my history with the organization and other conservation efforts in AZ. The first big issue I ever got involved with was when Game N Fish wanted to put the Kaibab to a draw. I didnt think they had enough info to make that decision as many others did. I then got involved in the YVRGC. I served as the Legislative Chairman prior to George Reiners and after Jon Fugate. I was also on the Board and the VP. Obviously I was fairly active. When AZSFW was taking shape they asked Fugate to serve. He was "retiring" from legislative issues so my name was suggested. I was selected and was involved in Azsfw from the very start. My main reason to be there was to address the big political issues that the crittet groups would generally not address. Many times if issues did not involve their critter, the group would not take a stand. Arizona needed a bigger, stronger voice in politics. Thats what AZSFW was supposed to do. Not put on a dang banquet like Utah. To make the story shorter I'll fast forward to 2010. I drew an antelope and a sheep tag that year. Also bought a house and started dating the love of my life. I pretty much lost my gusto for hunting issues and just wanted to get back to the roots, hunting. Enter George Reiners. Since the beginning of 2011, I have not been on any board and have no vote anywhere. I am a Life Member of YVRGC and a member of ADBSS, thats it.

 

Hopefully you and others now know a little more about me and understand that the post you refer to and every other post you will read from me is nothing but sincere.

 

PS - I let the ADBSS have it on their Facebook page and I encourage other members to do the same.

 

Nick
