Dave’s advice right on–don’t sit back attack. Our grass roots program has delayed fracking of the shale gas in MD. for 3 years and if successful will ban it. Get active, only the meek will inherit the earth–about 6 feet of it.:P

By the way, during our travels around the country for 2 years after I retired we spent almost 2 months in your neck of the woods Cheti Camp was one of our best stays and of course the Digby scallops fresh off the boat were a treat.

Welcome

Mike

I believe Dave’s advice is very good and will be involved in the future.

I am glad to hear you liked Nova Scotia. Cheticamp is in the heart of the moose hunting country under our lottery system. I just had some of those scallops on Saturday evening. They are very good, but we’re not fresh from the boat.

Now that is a pretty bow. I love walnut and used it often when I was making bows. Thanks for posting the photos.

DavidP, I think you have hit it right on the mark. The only problem is when listening to candidates running for office they often say one thing to get elected, then do another once in office. A local issue I am watching closely is Sunday hunting. It has never been allowed here. Recently, while sitting in the opposition, members introduced a law that would permit Sunday hunting. The governing party defeated this bill.

With a recent election, these former opposition members are now forming the government. They only had a short session in the legislature, but they did not re-introduce their law permitting Sunday hunting. Maybe they will in the future. I will be watching to see. But, they promised it while in opposition, will they make it happen when they have the power to bring it in.

Regardless, listen carefully, and beware of smiling ba$tar#s.

I also think the auction approach to selling tags will make the small guy a poacher in the future. I hope it never comes to that.

Well, I am a Canadian and probably have no right to comment on what is happening in the States, but I believe that the combination of big money, along with habitat loss, is taking you down a bad road. I think you simply have to look to Europe to see where this is going to lead. You can hunt if you have the money. You can hunt if you can find a piece of property to hunt on.

We have a moose permit draw here. It costs about 7 bucks to enter. I have entered for 32 years and am still waiting for my first opportunity. I may not Like the wait, but it is fair for all and the price is right.
