WOOOHOOOO!  The Central RAC unanimously voted to ask the Wildlife Board to make an action item of my proposal to the DWR!  That means two of the 5 RACs will make that motion and probably after a bit of discussion at the Wildlife Board meeting on Dec. 7, the others will join in.

A hearty THANK YOU to Wapiti and Edjukateer for joining me on the very long trip to Springville last night for the meeting.

I have to say this about the RAC people.  They have a very big job and only the State Employees get paid to do it.  They have representatives on the committee representing Sportsmen, Agriculture, Non Consumptive, Forest Service, BLM interests and several who just represent “US” the bulk of hunters, fishermen and outdoors people who are just who we are and nothing more.

They work really hard to find out what the people want and try to make decisions that are best for the majority.  They can only do that if people attend the meetings and speak up about how they feel on the subjects at hand.  So, if you don’t like the way things are being run, get down to a RAC meeting and put in your two bits.

Thanks for all the support I’ve been given in the effort to get more muzzleloader hunting opportunities out there for antelope hunters.  It’s only the first step in a very long process, but my hope is it will be on the 2014 big game application.  Keep your fingers crossed!
