Hb 559

I wasn't sure which of the forums to post this under but all NH sportsmen and women need to take note of House Bill 559. The bill looks to do away with the requirement for members of the Fish and Game Commission to have held a sporting license for at least 5 of the previous 10 years before the appointment. The bill is sponsored by Rep Skinder whom I beleive is from Cornish. She is the same rep who sponsored the anti-trapping bill last year. I beleive she is a card carrying member of PETA ( the group that submitted legisation in the US house to rename fish sea kittens). If you love to hunt or fish then you need to contact your rep and tell them that they need to oppose this bill. There is a public hearing on Feb 17th in Concord if anyone can attend. Also, check out this link for more information:
