Thanks for commenting, and for updating the...Katie,<br />Thanks for commenting, and for updating the status of the bill. It will be interesting to see where this goes. <br /><br />My personal opinion is that the legislature should allow NGPC to set hunting regulations, for several reasons. However, I also think that NGPC has probably been too conservative in the past with regulations. One reason for that, sorry to say, has been a reluctance to tred into the bowhunting season. Although I certainly understand the passion and interest of bowhunters, the bowhunters are simply not taking enough deer. And, in our current climate of over-population (from a social perspective), that early season has to be used for a more productive harvest, which unfortunately means that bowhunters will be sharing the woods with rifle hunters. <br /><br />One can hope that when a reduction in the population has been achieved that bowhunters will be able to claim that early season as their own again!<br /><br />But, I would very much like to see the NE Legislature pull back and allow NGPC to manage deer. The early version of this bill was a classic case of what happens when people don't communicate.Larkin Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644534228908164735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919480192223613357.post-58807190236867430852010-03-04T20:36:02.465-06:002010-03-04T20:36:02.465-06:00LAP,

With this in mind, my reaction is still one of some concern.<br /><br />As a Fisheries and Wildlife student in UNL’s School of Natural Resources and an avid bowhuntress, the outcome of this legislation is of great personal interest to me, and I have been following LB 836 closely. I appreciate you posting on the LB 836 issue, and would be very interested in hearing your thoughts regarding this comment.
