Even during my cat fiasco with national attention the anti's couldn't get enough people to those meetings to vote it down. Then couple months later I got a call from guy at the Conservation Congress telling me they were doing me a favor by tabling the proposal. Take the heat off me he said.. plus political pressure was such no politician would touch. Governor Doyle was another person admitted he hadn't read it but wouldn't support it. Tabling it was no help to me I already had took a big hit. Higher up's and Politician whoosed out.
I wonder what Walker or Trump would have said about it??

is that how they arrived at the new name for a cat " all other mammals specifically not mentioned "


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I'm not sure what to what your referring? With my proposal I was asking the state for clarification or a definition. It really was pretty simple. As far as I know things remain the same. SSS

I read the results today for County resolutions. Dane Co stuck out like a sore thumb. I was going to come on here tonight and make that comment, but I see you beat me to it.
Good grief, what is wrong with those Dane County voters...
Beav, couldn't you be the diplomat in the room?
Yikes.

Those that fill out the questioner don't come Into the room. They are brought In by the antis and told how to vote. Most of them may not even live In Dane county. But they still have the right to fill out the questioner.

You have to give them credit they are true to their Ideals. I can't say that for the Hunters trappers and fishermen In Dane county.

You can't get up and preach a sermon you can only speak to the question.

Now she will probably just tell her friends to vote online. I saw in the Wi Outdoor News(paper) today that Conservation Congress is starting the option for online voting with the '19 Spring hearing. I have concerns. The article said people on the west coast, DC, or even Paris will b able to vote. I can't imagine why the state would let a foreigner vote. PETA will probably send the link to their members. I realize only ~7k people voted last year, which is pathetic.
Not much incentive to attend the meeting anymore. I think it will lead to some counties having trouble filling all their seats on the congress's board.

One Monday night a year, just one. Oh the excuses. Same lame excuses made for not attending WTA meetings.

In less than 20 years the leadership and backbone of the CC will be gone. Probably closer to ten years.

Replaced by what?

Wisconsin sure isn't what it used to be.

Think about this: The issues involved were important enough to the 7K people that they took the time and effort to vote. Those who didn't vote have to (or had already decided to) live with the results, or they had no interest in the issue(s). As long as WI outdoorsmen and women show up as the majority the issues will be decided as they should be, that is, consumptive users voting on consumptive use. The anti's do not want consumptive use and will vote to stop it in any manner, regardless of the economic or social consequences.

Experience has shown me that the anti's really are a minority (albeit a vocal one)who rely on emotional appeals and rhetoric to advance their personal or corporate agenda (think of any of the national anti organizations). Most people really don't care one way or the other and are willing to leave others be.

Online voting will allow anyone from anywhere to vote and end the effectiveness and purpose of the WI CC. Attendance by WI sportsmen is critical to maintaining their representation. Once you have that taken away it is nearly impossible to get back. Just ask a trapper from one of the states who has lost their trapping.

How can people from anywhere vote on WI conservation issues?

Wouldn’t you have to log on with a member ID? Like your dnr number? If you carry a license you should have the right to vote?

Anyone can get a DNR customer number. Residents, non-residents, and even antis. You don’t need to purchase a license to get it. One should @ least have to prove residency.

Don't get the cart before the horse just yet. This online voting thing has not yet happened.
I thought when that question was brought up It was voted down In the state wide vote.

Note the key term here. From the above link to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

"The online survey will be conducted through a DNR license. The vendor is SurveyMonkey."
