Here's an update, sort of....
My local warden told me that the district hearings are to discuss proposed changes that have made it past committee. The proposed changes to be discussed at District 3 meetings (my district) will only be those that are listed, and the one mentioned above is not listed. IF any proposal outside those that have been discussed in committee are brought up it is not to be decided on but sent to the advisory committee who gets input and decides if it will be included as a proposal for next year. Not sure who Mr. Chris Moore might think he is but from those I have spoken to he is not allowed to sidestep the process. The NCCHA looks very closely at the advisory committee process every year and provides input which often helps keep negative things from ever being considered in the hearing process. If this gets added to the committee list of items for reveiw we will make a strong objection. Having said that I would not advise against attending the meeting, just in case....
Please keep us informed of anything that may occur, our meeting is not til the latter part of the month and if this becomes an issue at your meeting I would like to file a complaint, on behalf of the NCCHA, with the NCWRC for allowing it to be discussed while not being on the agenda, we cannot allow anyone especially a District Warden to sidestep the proper process.
On a side note, laws/ordinances are not only changed by the NCWRC but also at the county level. The wording of the law in Anson county is: "Unlawful to hunt on anothers land without having on the person written permission signed and dated....during the gun deer season allowing a dog under one's ownership, possession, or control to run upon or accross another's land constitutes hunting thereon" The law seems to pertain to deer dogs only, but since it affects dog hunting of any kind it is disturbing, (as a general rule the NCCHA supports ALL forms of dog hunting) often local ordinances get adopted by other counties and eventually end up becoming a statewide law...this can be a good thing, as this is the way the state law regarding unlawful removal of an electronic collar became law...but it can become a bad thing as well. If anyone knows hunters in Anson County I would suggest that they band together and create a presentation to the Anson County Commisioners and try to get this changed before other counties adopt the wording as well...if they need my assistance I'll be glad to help.
