Support all user groups and quit losing opportunity." Agree?? I do!http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,152462.0.htmlSportsman Input Needed: Governor's Task Force on Parks and Outdoor Recreation Gov.

As I said before about this site SLOW loading I can think of nothing that would make me want to re up as a paying member since I've waited 10 minutes to get to where I can post this. Sorry Chris... Now for my post....We must be doing okay since this participant saysperhaps we should have events to get kids interested in activities that do not impact the environment; photography, painting, bird watching and other such activities should be encouraged over resource intensive recreation such as hunting and fishing. Take only pictures, leave only footprints.Is also saying thisI agree, this website doesn't work very well and (at least so far) has not reached a wide enough range of people.Keep it up because they will show up eventually
