Good letter, but there was no mention of China's investment in the Continent or more especially the new railroad that has recently been proposed. I suspect that China's "investment" in Africa is more detrimental to elephants and other species than most anything else. But that's just MHO. Wanna bet whether he gets a meaningful reply? | |||

nice letter. Wonder when he will receive a response? >>>>>>>>>>>>>> "You've got the strongest hand in the world. That's right. Your hand. The hand that marks the ballot. The hand that pulls the voting lever. Use it, will you" John Wayne | |||

a letter from a ranking Senator will certainly not get a generic( canned) response. the devil will be in the details provided. my guess is those details will few and vague, since there seems to be little scientific data to support the action.

My money is on never. I sure didn't get any response and I sent him three very informative emails. ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

Dan Ashe answers to Sally Jewel...who answers to Barack Obama...who answers to no one and does whatever he pleases. That said...the tide may be starting to shift in the politics of DC and USF&W may starting thinking about its future as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Saeed, Can you shed any light on what this paragraph is all about? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

As I said in another post, two of us met with Senator Vitter on May 8th. His knowledge of the situation was far better than I expected and his staffer's knowledge was excellent. While the letter may not contain all the questions we would like asked, it is greatly appreciated and hopefully will receive attention at the USF&W. Please encourage your representative to follow suit and also request them to sign the "Dear Colleague" letter calling on USFWS to repeal the ban. Congressman Young was one of the originators of the "Dear Colleague" letter. | |||

David Vitter is actually asking the USFWS to use verified facts and good research - combined with logic, intelligence, and reason - before they make a decision. But, Obama (and his cronies) will not allow this approach to trump their self-righteous ideological politics - don't hold your breath. | |||

Sally Jewel will try to make USF&W tow the liberal line for a while...but the Service will have to eventually look to the future as they will surpass the Monarchy we live in today. So if they want future funding...they may start to listen to Congressmen before too long. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Thanks for sharing the letter, this appears to be one of the first signs that Congress actually gives a rip about this issue. It is nice to see that not all the politicians are playing dodge ball on this issue. The garbage form letters from my Montana members of Congress were particularly disheartening given that they are hunters. Elections do terrible things to otherwise intelligent people! In my experience (not just an opinion as I have dealt with them professionally for more than 20 years) the USFWS is a rogue agency that has completely abandoned scientific principles on many different issues and operates primarily as an "anti" advocacy group yet wields some very destructive regulatory power. I hunt to live and live to hunt! | |||

hunt99. I got the same crap from Mt reps. I got so pissed, I emailed them all literally calling them numb nuts and told them to disband USFWS. And I'm pretty easy going. That kinda behavior is inexcusable. Simply unbelievable... " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.
