Fish and Game Commission

The Sac Bee recently wrote about the waning political influence of hunters in California. A comment by one Eric Mills (animal activist) at the conclusion of the article suggests that like-minded piss-ants should make their feelings known to the governor, etc. in order to install a commissioner that meets their approval. My guess is that hunters would not approve of the man or woman they would foist upon us.

I have copied the comment with addresses of state officials as written. Take time right now to write letters to these state officials. Better yet, go to Sac and voice your opinion Feb 10/11.

The State Fish & Game Commission next meets in Sacramento on February 10-11 (Wed/Thurs) in the Resources Building, 1416 Ninth Street (near the Capitol). The public is urged to attend and voice their concerns.

See the Commission website for the agenda and the supporting documents. There's a PUBLIC FORUM early-on, both days.

All may be written c/o The Resources Building, 1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.

Encourage Gov. Brown to fill those two vacancies ASAP with highly-qualified people. Hunters, fishers and non-consumptive users alike need to work together for the benefit of ALL wildlife, which our State Constitution decrees belongs to all Californians.

Hunters fear fading voice at Fish and Game Commission

My letters are sent,.. and to a few more than listed but that is a good place to start. Thanks!

We really need to camp out on the Capital lawns. All of us hunters, fisherpeople, and outdoors types. Show up in mass and protest all of what has been happening.

Somebody set a date, i'll be there!

"It's all about knowing what your firearms practical limitations are and combining that with your own personal limitations!"

There is now an applicant for one of the open positions who could not be more well qualified, competent or a better, more objective friend of sportsmen.

Dan Yparraguire, the recently retired Deputy Director of Fish and Game, has thrown his name into the hat. Mr. Yparraguire not only has extensive wildlife knowledge, he is a man whom I can say from personal experience, is of great character and integrity. I urge every sportsman to write to the Governor and encourage him to appoint Dan Yparraguire as one of the new commissioners.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Sent my approval for Dan in last week.
Like previously stated, Dan is an excellent candidate.
What's unfortunate is how deep the HSUS has sunk into the DFG, it's trending heavy left,,,very unfortunate for us here.
We've had several gun rallies at the Capitol, they fall on deaf ears.

i realize some of these positions in the fish n game or (what ever they call themselves now) may not pay as well as a wall street type job but you have to give those anti's credit for following their convictions by sacrificing a carrier on wall street to a lowly government official so they can push their agendas farther.


i may be wrong n got my arse chewed the last time i responded to a similar post but I've not seen that kind of commitment come from our ranks ever n we are reaping what we have sown, just my two cents...

my wife n i we're considering moving back to Cali, but i don't think that'll happen...
