Here's an email I got from Mitch's office

Dear Mr. Wells,



Thank you for taking the time to contact the office of Governor Mitch Daniels. He has shared your e-mail with me and asked that I respond on his behalf. I appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

At the March 16 meeting, the Natural Resource Commission (NRC) adopted the recommendation from the DNR to "prohibit the chasing and killing (which would include hunting) of foxes and coyotes inside a confined area." There is nothing in the recommendation that addresses traditional field trials or dog training facilities of another type, including game bird hunting preserves that are licensed by the DNR. Dogs will still be allowed to chase and hunt coyotes, foxes, raccoons, rabbits, and squirrels in the wild in the State of Indiana, and the DNR will continue to issue field trial permits for sanctioned events for chasing raccoons and other species in the wild in Indiana.

The NRC action, which was unanimous, did not establish a rule (regulation) but did set in motion the process to create a rule. It is a process that can take as long as eighteen months to complete. If the NRC drafts a rule, it will go out on "second notice" to invite public comment on what it intends to regulate and how. Until then, any written comments, phone calls or other responses are not considered part of the public record. If the NRC gives preliminary adoption to the proposed rule, the official public comment period begins and at least one public hearing will follow.

After the public comment period ends, the rule will go back to the NRC to consider for final adoption, which is not expected to take place until late this year or early next year.

Again, thank you for writing, and thank you for your active citizenship.

Sincerely,

Shelley Reeves

Governor's liaison for the Department of Natural Resources

Here's a post from another board, I joined and donated $ for the cause I urge all others to do the same

Join up.
Our local paper had this in today.

NEW PROGRAM BACKS HUNTERS

The US Sportsmens Alliance has unveiled a dynamic new initiative aimed at building an army of sportsmen from coast to coast to protect Americas outdoor heritage for future generations. The USSA's Sentry Program is free to join and represents the most intense effort ever focussed on attracting sportsmen to become active players in the fight to preserve hunting, fishing and trapping rights whenever they are threatened.
By becoming a Sentry, sportsmen will be notified by instant e-mail about local and national threats to their outdoor rights. They will also be given specific instructions on which public officials to contact. This communication network will enable sportsmen to moblize quicker and more effectivley than ever.
In addition to getting sportsmen engaged in advocacy, the Sentry Program offers additional benefits, giving sportsman a one-stop web site for key information including state hunting regulations, location of shooting ranges and other hunting and fishing tips from recognized leaders in the outdoor community.
"There are many anti-hunting organizations seeking to do away with what we love, " said Bud Pigeon, USSSA president and ceo. " By coming together under the Sentry Program, sportsmen will enhance our ranks and collectively stand tall against those groups."
There is no cost to join the Sentry Program.

Everyone should join this now so check it out and tell all your friends.
