House Bill 1100, An Act to authorize landowner-on-own-land elk licenses, was deferred at the request of the prime sponsor till Thursday February 2nd in order to work on the language and possible amendments. The proponents have reached out to us to have some dialogue about amendments that might gain our support. We plan to meet with them early next week. Please continue to voice your opposition to the current bill to committee members whose email address and contact information is below.

There are three legislative days left for bill introductions, we should see all the bills by close of business on Thursday next week. To date there aren’t any other controversial bills or bills that deal with wildlife, habitat, or access that we are currently tracking. However, we do expect to see some before the session is over! There are many cracker barrels this weekend, get out and engage with your legislators!
