Here you go Matt.

NGPC Schedules Deer and Big Game Information Meetings in December

Matt Watson · 11-21-2008, 11:56 AM

Thanks. I didn't notice that.

obert · 11-21-2008, 12:56 PM

Are you going Matt?

Matt Watson · 11-21-2008, 03:14 PM

A lot of times i have to work on wednesdays but if i don't on December 3rd then im going to try to make it. Are you going to be there Greg?

obert · 11-21-2008, 05:19 PM

Yeah, I think it might be too interesting to not go.

obert · 12-01-2008, 10:31 AM

I have heard a rumor that there will be some BIG news coming out of the meetings. We'll see. Who's still going to the meetings?

Fishingnerd33 · 12-01-2008, 02:36 PM

I think I'm going to the meeting here in Chadron. Would probably be good to see what it's all about. Thanks for posting that!

racksniper · 12-01-2008, 03:29 PM

I have also heard there is some really big news in this meeting.

DiggerDog · 12-01-2008, 03:57 PM

Would you guys take some notes and report back them to those of us that can't make it? I will be out of town on business returning late Thursday evening.

Thanks.

I'm really disappointed that I can't be there as I'm more than interested in hearing the NGPC's excuses as to why there isn't enough good safe hunting land for all of us to successfully and safely hunt. Equally as interested I'm curious to hear what they plan to do to increase land access for all, especially here in eastern NE or their excuses for not.

obert · 12-01-2008, 04:06 PM

Will do, I just heard from another individual that there is rumored to be talk of a very significant change(s). Something that hasn't changed in 60 years. I don't know if this is all rumor or what, but if 1 in particular rumor is true it's going to be very significant come next fall.

racksniper · 12-01-2008, 04:30 PM

Its about time they changed something.

BPbowhunter · 12-01-2008, 05:00 PM

Your driving me nuts Obert! PM me with what you heard the change was, it's driving me nuts wondering...

flatcoats · 12-01-2008, 05:14 PM

he already told me bp

!

obert · 12-01-2008, 05:16 PM

I told BP too...

Can't say that it's accurate, but comes from a pretty good source.

popers-n-ropers · 12-01-2008, 08:16 PM

You guys are driving me crazy. I cant wait to hear if theres any new news!!!

As long as it's for the good and not just change to make change. Knowing the NGPC they will make a change making something good into something bad all the while thinking they are making a change for the good.

Hate to say it but your probably right on key with that one.

obert · 12-02-2008, 07:26 AM

I wouldn't be bashing these guys before we hear what changes are proposed. At least give them the benefit of the doubt until the meetings. If you feel they won't make a good decsion(s), then please make it a point to attend one of these meetings if you can.

So what would be a bad proposal?

I don't think anybody is bashing them as much as we are commenting on their track record of making bad choices or just plain doing nothing to improve the sport for all. At least that's where I'm coming from.
