Saturday Jan. 25 Doug Leier had his usual excellant radio program on KFGO, with guest State Senator Joel Heitkamp. Senator Heitkamp is an reasoned and informed Senator from SE North Dakota. During that interview Senator Heitkamp made the observation that as he sat through the senate natural resources hearing on SB 2048, (Hunter Pressure Concept), he thought those in support represented groups, while those opposed, represented themselves.
I sat through this same hearing and that was not the case. I'm sure his misconception is simply an oversight. Those of you from his district should bring this matter to his attention quickly, in as a POLITE of manner as possible.
The more we look at commercial hunting, the more we see heavy hitters standing back in the shadows, dimly seen. Like the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood, they are dressed in Gramas clothes......but they are not Grama. These heavy hitters have an enormous vested interest both economicly and politicaly, yet they are masters at using surrogates to send their commercial hunting messages.
Senator Heitkamp is a bright person, and the folks from his district need to bring this misconception to his attention right now. SB 2048 has not been voted on yet and you can still make a huge difference.
