JimGilliganHi Michigan Friends,
As you know, Mary and I were not able to make Boblo because of the meeting with the Upland Game Committee on that Saturday about the use of an Atlatl for hunting. To give you a shortened version they voted 19-2 to PASS my advisory question, to allow the use of an Atlatl for small game in Wisconsin :)
Now it will go to the Executive committee of the DNR in January. If they pass the advisory question, then it will come to vote in April at the Conservation Spring Hearings, which are state wide. If my Advisory question passes in April, then the following year it will come to vote as a law change. This is really a long process, but I truly believe that the Atlatl should be able to be used for hunting purposes. Thanks for caring and asking, if you know any people in Wisconsin ask them to attend the spring hearing in April in their local county and vote yes on the Atlatl advisory question.
So how was Boblo this year? I really missed seeing everyone. Already anticipating the next gathering in 2009 at Bois Blanc island.
Regards,
Lenny Riemersma
