40-year-AZ-hunter Report post Posted March 13, 2012 The Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society has been quiet as a church mouse regarding HB 2072. It's time for the critter groups who are fence sitting to take a position. The ADBSS Board meeting is Mar. 14 (Wed), 7pm at El Zaribah Shrine 552 N. 40th St. Phoenix. They may need a little shove.

elkaholic Report post Posted March 13, 2012 In response to questions regarding the position of ADBSS on HB 2072: HB2072 was discussed at the February 8th Board Meeting. At that time, the ADBSS Board of Directors understood that the bill had been removed from the legislative process. Therefore, no action was taken. Now that the bill has resurfaced and could potentially be reintroduced, the ADBSS Board of Directors will be discussing this is...sue at the March 14th Board Meeting. While the ADBSS has been a supporting member of the AZSFW in the past, the ADBSS terminated financial support for AZSFW during the October 2011 Board Meeting. HB 2072 is an issue with multiple underlying ideals that has the potential to affect the future of wildlife conservation in Arizona. Therefore, it must be considered carefully and discussed in a public forum in conformance with Arizona State Open Meeting Laws and ADBSS Bylaws With the new information that has been received during the past few weeks, the ADBSS Board of Directors owes the ADBSS members, and all sportsmen of Arizona, an official position on HB 2072. While the ADBSS Board of Directors can individually discuss the merits of the bill prior to the Board Meeting, an official group statement should not be issued until then. An official position statement by the ADBSS Board of Directors will be forthcoming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
