DCMHunter Report post Posted February 12, 2007 They are accepting public comment until the 15th on the commissioner applications. Who are you supporting? From what I have read my first choice is Don Martin From Kingman, AZ. I feel he would support the hunting and fishing in Arizona. My next two choices would be Phillip Townsend, from Yuma and Robert Woodhouse, from Roll (Yuma area). The commissioner that is leaving this year is from the colorado river area and I feel we should replace him with someone from the same area. Please contact the governors staff and let them know who you are supporting.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted February 12, 2007 DCM, I have posted Don Martin's resume and some background in another thread. here is a link to that for those of you that want to read up on his qualifications. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...?showtopic=5145 Anybody have the resume's of the other candidates? And, by the way, the AZ Sportsmen for Wildlife has cancelled the "meet the cadidates" meeting that was scheduled for tonight. They weren't able to get all the candidates there. I think they may still hold a forum like that in the future. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
