Matt and Nighthunter need not give any more free info on this site for people to lazy to go to meetings yet get on here and cry that somebody has spilt their milk !
If I was Aldeer moderators I would be thanking these guys for frequently coming on and keeping us informed of what is being proposed etc . Everyone is not opposed to what Gamecheck might bring like I said we had 1 out of 35 that had a issue with it at the Jasper meeting and the one guy from my understanding is constantly calling or writing letters complaining .
You say we should be grateful for them voluntarily telling us about these things but don’t you think it’s the state’s
responsibility to inform the public of major changes and meetings like this and not on the public’s to have to seek it out? I don’t mean Matt and NH’s responsibility to voluntarily do it either…..I mean for the DCNR to officially promote it well enough through different media outlets so that the public has a reasonable chance of finding out about it. You say…….”Fine!....Matt and NH just won’t come here and tell us about it on their own accord anymore.”……but if that’s the only way we were finding out about to begin with….isn’t that a reflection of a pretty chitty approach to informing the public. I imagine there are very few hunters in the state that routinely visit Outdoor Alabama to check for upcoming events. What percentage of hunters do you think know about these meetings? It's really no big surprise that there was such low participation in the voluntary check system.
