Thanks for representing sportsman well and for your positive comments Paul.

I do not have the 'book of faces'. Can someone summarize the meeting yesterday?

Edited: Scratch that. Just watched entire meeting online.

Keith and Steve, thanks for you interests in what is going on in the NE CPW Region. If you have any topics you want considered, please contact me. All we can do is try to get hunters, fishers, trappers involved and up to date on the many issues/subjects Paul

Hope your turnout is better than the SW caucus we just had. Granted it was snowing but its pretty sad when only a handful of hunters show up to these meetings

Ryan, yea, we had 10 in person and around 45 on Facebook live. Weather was a factor for some as roads were ice/snow. Hopefully more will watch the meeting on CPW Facebook as it is now available. Our next Caucus meeting in the NE will be in August, most likely at Scheels/Loveland.

I watched your SW meeting, not a good setup shooting down the hall it seemed, and the audio was not good as the mike was too far away.

I don't do facebook. Is there any way to see/hear what came out of it?

Thanks Paul...somehow managed to find it!

Another question; I saw something mentioned about adding additional another rifle season for buck & doe pronghorn. However, I can't find any additional info on that. I went to the BGSS link they provided and drew a zero. Any idea what that is about? After all, there are currently early & late season hunts in some units, with the late season being primarily a doe hunt.

Thanks for your help!

I believe that, the "additional rifle buck/doe pronghorn season" for the future, was one of the questions from a recent CPW BGSS survey; asking participants to support and not support that recommendation.

Thanks Paul
