NH HOUSE BILL 559 An Act relative to the composition and duties of, and appointment to, the fish and game commission of NH
This will impact all sportsmen in NH; the specific issue is the removal of this
requirement:
“An active outdoorsman holding a resident fishing, hunting, or trapping license in at least 5 of the 10 years preceding the appointment.”
Primary sponsor of this Bill, Representative Carla Skinder of Cornish , no surprise was also the primary sponsor of the recently defeated anti-trapping legislation. She is using a very effective tactic, worked in MA will work here. If you belong to any other Fishing\Hunting\Trapping boards get the word out.
I don’t have to remind the MA folk about this
In 1996 the citizens of Massachusetts had a referendum vote to change the way wildlife were managed in the state. This referendum was pushed by a coalition of animal rights groups which called their lobbying efforts, Pro-Paw (Protection of Pets and Wildlife). Essentially, the bill, called "The Wildlife Protection Act", changed three areas.
•The bill removed the requirement that members of the Wildlife Board (the state's regulatory body on Wildlife management) have sporting licenses.
•It banned the use of footholds and conibears in capturing wildlife unless there was a demonstrated health risk.
•The bill eliminated the use of dogs in hunting bears.
Time to step up, does not get any easier than this a easy to complete, populate and shoot letter. A courteous personalized letter to these folks and you’re your own reps will help as well.
