1144.0. "ALERT! N.H. BILL#1248 HELP,HELP." by MCIS5::PAPPALARDO (A Pure Hunter) Thu Feb 20 1992 13:23

    
    There's a bill before lawmakers in New Hampshire that would impose
    a ban on hunting.
    
    If passed the bill will increase the safety-zone of 300ft to 1000ft
    STATEWIDE.
    
    If passed, southern N.H. will probably be forever closed to all hunting
    as the bill is directed at hunting, not bird, deer, ducks, but all
    hunting.
    
    We need to kill this bill quick. The F&G committe is expected to kill
    the bill by recommending against it.
    
    I, We, need all in here to help kill this bill by simply doing the
    following.
    
    Please!!! Weather you're a resident (you better call) or non-resident
    please call and simply state your opinion.
    
    All they'll ask is your name and town. If you're a non-res I suggest
    you tell them that you spend a lot of time here in N.H. hunting and
    spending lots of money each fall.
    
    PLEASE CALL THE FOLLOWING TODAY.
    
    Call the State house and ask What your REPS and Senator name and phone
    number is to OPPOSE this bill.
    
    THE STATE HOUSE # 603-271-1110
    
    THE BILL # HB-1248
    
    OR CALL REP-ALLEN WIGGIN @ 603-253-7781 He's in charge of the F&G
    committee, he's against this bill, he's neither pro-hunting or
    anti-hunting, this is his home phone, just tell his wife or him your
    name, town,state and the you want to kill bill # 1248.
    
    THANKS!!!
    
    Rick
    
    Let us know how you make out. I'd love to know how many calls get
    generated
    from this note but, that's up to you, if you wish to disclose the info.
    
    THANKS AGAIN!!

	If worse comes to worse, and the bill is unkillable, you might want to point out that Massachusetts gets along quite well with a 500 foot limit. (Which doesn't put much deer habitat out of bounds.)
1144.4		ROULET::RINELLA		`Fri Feb 21 1992 07:54`	8
	Damn, I'm reading this note a day too late.. Is there any word on what happened to this bill yet??? Gus
1144.5		DATABS::STORM		`Fri Feb 21 1992 10:42`	7
	I just called. The lady at the state house said it was in the F&G Committee. The number she gave for them was 271-3125. They are not there today, but she said they were planning to meet either Monday or Tuesday, so try calling that number then. Mark,
1144.6	What finally happened to this bill ?	LANDO::HOFFMAN		`Mon Mar 16 1992 12:31`	6
	Guys/Gals, Anybody know how this turned out ?? I certainly hope it was defeated. Dave
1144.7		WAHOO::LEVESQUE	Wishin' I were Fishin'	`Tue Mar 17 1992 08:48`	3
	It was sent out of committee with an "inexpedient to legislate" recommendation several weeks ago. The last I heard it was supposed to have been voted on by the full house, but I have seen no reports of what the outcome of that was.

	<sniff> Gee, that's too bad.... NOT! :-)
1144.10	How would the messure it?	APACHE::DAY		`Wed Apr 15 1992 11:53`	20
	This would of messed my hunting up. How in the world though the woods could a person even know at times they were 1000 feet or more away from something. I wonder how they would message it. A staight line or along the ground. Some ridges may put you 1000 feet along the ground but only 400 in a staight line. The three hundred foot rule is a good one. It is based really on common sence. Most times in the woods around here the maximum distance you can see is 300 feet. It is only common sence if you can see a home or town road to unload or make a 180 and head back into the woods. I am glad it did not pass. The next time you hear of this type of thing, please call me at home. We have to stick together. 424-5540. Dave
