of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources requesting some information on CAB (Alabama Conservation Advisory Board)

I run two blogs here in Alabama. One is redneckin where I take shots at local and Alabama politicians in between running my mouth about fishing and hunting. The other is "The Rabbit Journal which is concerned with hunting rabbits with beagles.

One of my main concerns is the prospect that the big game hunters on the CAB are more interested in Deer and Turkey at the expense of small game, such as expanding the deer season into February.

Do the members of CAB take into consideration the wishes of Alabama Sportsmen?

Will a move towards antler restrictions and permits (one would assume lowering the number of deer taken in Alabama each year) lead to more traffic accidents because of a population increase?

Since my only concern with deer in Alabama is a few meat deer to eat each year, why do I need to manage our private lease to benefit others who want to hunt trophies?

Do the CAB members have email address's available to the public?

Since the CAB is an appointed body, are they answerable to anybody (meaning the public of Alabama)?

Is there anyway to contact the members of the Board for potential interviews concerning their stands on issues that effect all sportsmen of Alabama?

Is anything being done to keep the middle class or poor from being priced out of hunting besides the rather limited Forever Wild, which would be to the detriment of hunting in general, since many would start voting with the anti's if they don't have a stake in the sport

Looking forward to your responses and hopefully with a method of contacting the CAB members

Chuck over at The Rabbit Journal/ redneckin

I'll post his reply when/if he does
