[RIFLEMAN]

Hello All,

It is vitally important that the California Fish and Game Commission know how important it is that the California Department of Fish and Game’s proposals for bear hunting be adopted. Please take a few minutes to make your opinion known; I strongly recommend using ALL of the methods I have provided so as to inundate them with our position.

Here are some guidelines I suggest:

1. Be respectful and courteous. Address them professionally by referring to their title such as, “President Kellogg,” “Executive Director Carlson,” or “Commissioner Sutton.”
2. Keep your comments concise and to the point.
3. Focus on the science behind the recommendation that the bear harvest numbers be increased, the added safety that GPS will provide to dogs, the DFG studies that prove that recovery equipment does not harm the population, the fact that our neighboring states do not prohibit the use of GPS, the fact that GPS does not make the pursuit of bear any easier for the dog, etc.
4. Avoid incorporating any emotion; be factual.
5. Avoid at all costs any threats or ultimatums. We want to convince them-not coerce them-of our position.
6. Use spell check at the end of your comments to make sure you have made no grammatical errors.



The Commission can be contacted via the following:
