Response to Better Wake Up
Dec 09 2006Thanks for returning my message. Before I comment on that I should tell you a little about myself. My wife and I took over a dental practice in Thermopolis in 1998. I believe you were already in college. My wife and I being UW grads couldn’t wait to return to the state after dental school in Nebraska. I had rifle hunted a lot in school but got the archery bug going to Sheridan College and UW. High School sports ate up the majority of time when I was younger and hunting filled that void as I got older. The preparation, staying in shape, and anticipation of the hunt. In the late eighties I got hooked on Bowhunter Magazine and made VHS copies of many of your grandpa’s movies and I believe your Uncle Rod’s Mule Deer movies. The years in Nebraska were painfully long. Hunting over pressured whitetails on 20 acres of “wilderness” listening to garage doors opening and dogs barking as the sun came up in the east as the farm houses woke up to go do chores about killed me. The reason I mention this is Dave from Tulsa ought to get himself out to the West and contribute to our economy if he wants to hunt out here so bad. I applaud you again on thoughtfully articulating the legal argument of states rights regarding wildlife management. Hopefully it won’t get overturned any time in the near future.
