javihammer Report post Posted March 7, 2012 I think I spoke to harshly and too soon about this meeting. Kudos to Game and Fish for putting this meeting together. We have some good people over there. That said, looking forward to the meeting Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

videoshot Report post Posted March 7, 2012 I want to give a big thank you to Terry and Amanda for keeping us up to date not only on this forum but the AZ Hunter as well.

Ringer Report post Posted March 15, 2012 One week until the 3/22 meeting. I think we will have a good turnout. I posted on our fishing website as well. This could be the start of something that will 1) get more people involved and 2) set up an early warning system when nasty bills like HB2072 show up. See you all there.

archerycrazy Report post Posted March 20, 2012 The meeting Thursday evening at the Game and Fish Headquarters could be crucial for the future of our wildlife. Attendance is critical. For those who cannot get to that meeting, it will broadcast on the web and all regional offices. Attendance at the regional offices could be just as crucial. The Department is going to spend a great deal of OUR money to have these offices open. If you can't make it to Phoenix go to your nearest regional office.
