Lynn Keogh, a well known trapper (last years Trapper of the Year, along with his dad) has been appointed to the BOG by the governor this year and his first hearing is Wednesday, 17 at 1: 00 in House Resources. Please just take a moment of your time to send a letter of support to the Chairman of House Resources. Representative.Josiah.Patkotak@akleg.gov and your local Reps.
Or you can call into the hearing and give a personal testimony of support for him. 1-844-586-9085.
FYI. The other side will work diligently not have a 2nd. generation Alaskan, that is well informed and a knowledgeable user of "OUR" resources, on the BOG!


Life is hard. It's even harder if your stupid!

Keyos BOG appointment has a hearing in House Resources committee today at 1:00.

Even though there were numerous comments sent in support of Keyo already, somehow??? none have made it into the record for todays hearing????

What has made it in are comments from the antis.

We need comments sent in now or call in today!

Below are a couple examples of what house resources has on record:

March 15, 2021 Dear Legislators:
The State Board of Game and the higher positions in the ADFG are currently composed of hunters, trappers, taxidermists, big game guides, representatives of organizations like the Alaska Outdoor Council, Outdoor Heritage Foundation, Safari Club International and the Resource Development Council. None are non-consumptive users. None shoot with a camera.
.... Adding another trapper to the Board guarantees continued imbalance, poor representation and poor wildlife management.....
.....The best way to continue this embarrassment and inequity is to appoint prolific trapper ... Lynn Keogh to the Board.....
Sincerely,
Mark ..... Seward

Dear Representative Patkotak,
I urge you to vote no on the re-appointment of Lynn Keogh to the Board of Game. I have spent more than twenty years trying to convince members of the Board of Game to enact .. restrictions limiting ... traps.... Twenty years ago I was on a sub committee of the Board of Game appointed to address
the problem of .... traps ....etc
Thank you, Kneela....

There is some kind of mistake??? I know for a fact that Keyo has received support because I sent one. Yet here is the title page and there is nothing in there but opposition letters!
