Content was often fine, the delivery needed work as well as the ability to see who is on your side and not argue with those that agree with you. I told him many times that he needed to go to law school to learn how to apply the case law to the proper context of the situation. Research was never his weakness though.

A couple of thoughts on revamping the DCNR, first off, no member of CAB should be allowed if they have a financial interest that can be connected to DCNR Regs. Dan Moultrie, who may be a fine man, I don't know, I've never met him, should not have any say so what so ever to do with anything related to baiting, feeding etc.. In the world I live in, that is an ethics violation.

Secondly, since harming the population of a game animal takes a long time to recover from, there has to be some oversight of property owners and lessors. I'm all for them having a say in the matter, but not total control.

As a hunter and license holder, I would like to have more of a say in the matters of G&F regulations.


Be careful Jawbone. I got my knuckles rapped on a previous thread for suggesting virtually the same thing about Dan Moultrie. I don't know Dan either, but when he was appointed to the board, decoys quickly became legal in Alabama. Coincidence? You be the judge.

I am not a fan of what I am seeing or hearing about Mr. Sykes and his vision for the future of wildlife management in Alabama. I also cannot believe that an elected CAB would solve the issues. Special interests would still have the ability to get their people elected. To believe they will not is folly as virtually all elections come down to one thing - MONEY. Another poster suggested we should apply pressure to the elected officials who have authority over the CAB. This is where it needs to start.
