Senate Bill 566 allowing outfitters access to public land hunting areas.

[dennishoddy]

Don't forget to contact Governor Stitt about SB-703. It's working its way through the legislature and will prohibit the ODW from purchasing any more WMA's without permission of the legislature.

The ODW gets zero money from the legislature for operating money.
The ODW is totally funded from license fees, investment fees from lifetime licenses, and Pittman Robertson rebates from the US government that comes from purchases of sporting equipment. Its a built in tax that comes right back to the wildlife department from the feds.
The legislature doesn't have a clue what the Oklahoma sportsmen/women want. They are only looking at controlling the ODW. We can't let that happen.
Sent Stitt and your legislator comments about why you oppose it.

This doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of any traction I don't think.

LOL
Carry on.

Hmmm, you thought wrong.

Did it pass?

No it was vetoed by Stitt.


I saw a FB page where Stitt received just over 200 requests from folks to veto it...............................pretty poor turnout on Oklahoma outdoors men/women's part.

You said it didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of going anywhere.
It passed the house and the senate, so evidently it did go somewhere and if not for public input and some internal input from some other folks with a vested interest, Stitt would have signed it.
If it had been associated with pot you would have been all over it. LOL.

Edit: I've read that 260 emails from Oklahoma sportsmen contributed to swaying the Governor's opinion resulting in a veto.

Lots of good Oklahoma mud slinging there. I'm waiting to see the laundry put out on the line to dry on this one.

It's a breach of the state constitution.
So, therefore it was dead before it was ever voted on but Stitt was the only one smart enough to know that. I knew it too but I wasn't voting.
It had not a snowballs chance, period.
And so it was.

No, if it had to do with restrictions on our civil liberties, I would have been all over it.
Replace pot with something like civil asset forfeiture or no knock laws and I would also be all over it.
