Hey, two favors: will you post Cenci's revised proposal language (I think you sent it to me but I don't want to steal your glory) and would you follow up with him to clarify if his plan is to resubmit the proposal BEFORE the April Commission vote or if he is just planning ahead to the next three ...

You know Jason that is a lot of exclamation points, especially when the Hound Council home page, the event flyer and the BGH forum post all clearly say "Water Race & Award Banquet".
Now if you were directing your point towards me then I forgive you, I have great sympathy for adults that can't read ...

What model and have you had any problems with glare off a stainless piece like the Mark III Hunter ...

Amen. Creating new rules to enforce in order to make it easier to enforce the rules that already exist is a fascinating twist of logic and is removing hunting opportunities. WDFW doesn't collect any data on coon hunters so these certainly aren't any kind of conservation based rules. My big beef is ...
