Schedule of meetings:

May 17, Eufaula,WELL THE NEWS IS BAD FOR DOG HUNTERS.TO START WITH DAN MOULTRIE & DR. STRICKLAND WAS NOT THERE WHICH I TK HURT US.THE PERMIT SYSTEM IS STILL TALKED AND MAY BE BROUGHT UP AT ANOTHER MEETING BEFORE SEASON BUT DONT LOOK LIKE ITS GONNA HAPPEN.HERES THE BAD NEWS.SOME MORE OF PERRY COUNTY WAS TAKEN ABOUT 10 MILES FURTHER SOUTH. I COULDNT HEAR THE FAYETTE COUNTY REAL GOOD BUT I THINK ALL OF FAYETTE IS GONE EXCEPT THAT LAND EAST OF HWY.43 AND SOUTH OF HWY 18.NORTH CRENSHAW COUNTY IS GONE NORTH OF HWY 10.COFFEE,BUTLER AND PIKE WAS DEFFERED SO MAY BE SAFE FOR ANOTHER YEAR IF THIS EXTRA MEETING PLANNED DOESNT DO THEM IN.I ASSUME IT WILL NOT BE A PUBLIC MEETING SO WHO KNOWS WHAT IS NEXT.WE HAVE GOT TO STICK TOGETHER OR WE ARE GOING TO LOSE IT ALL.THE PART OF NORTH PERRY WAS LOST BECAUSE OF JUST 1 PERSON COMPLAINING.SO IF 20 SHOW UP FOR A COUNTY AND A FEW AGAINST THEY ARE ON THERE SIDE.ITS VERY EASY TO TELL MOST ON THE BOARD ARE AGAINST US.THE COMPLAINT IN PERRY CO. IS BY A MAN RUNNING A PAY HUNTING OPERATION SO I FEEL HE SHOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO BAN A AREA BECAUSE IT HURTS HIS PAY HUNTS.BUT IT SEEMS WE ARE SLOWING LOOSING OUR HERITAGE.

 1ST MEETING OF THE DOG HUNTERS LANDOWNERS COMMITTEE 6-27-08

WELL THE 1ST MEETING SEEM TO GO GOOD.OUR DON KNIGHT IS ON THE PANEL.FAR AS THIS YEAR GOES ALL THE CHANGES BY THE ADVISORY BOARD WILL STAND FOR NOW WHICH HURTS THE PREVIOUS LISTED PARTS.IT SEEMS AS OF NEXT YEAR HERE IS THE OPTIONS WORKING.IF A COUNTY HAS A PROBLEM,THE ADVISORY BOARD MAY TRY AND BAN THE WHOLE OR PARTS OF A COUNTY OR REFER IT TO THE NEW COMMITTEE TO SET UP THE PERMIT SYSTEM WHICH GIVES US HOPE.MY THOUGHT IS IT WILL BE HARDER TO BAN A COUNTY WITHOUT 1ST GIVING THE PERMIT SYSTEM A TRY BUT THAT IS JUST MY OPINION.MORE UPDATES TO COME WHEN THEY MEET AGAIN.KEEP WATCHING HERE ON THE NEWS PAGE
