Grasslands Hunter Input Meeting - Notes 2018. !!
Thx to Kevin for sharing this report and readout from their meeting.
This year’s Grasslands meeting had a very good turnout. Lots of new faces this year that have not attended previous meetings which was a decent show of representation. Most of the news for the 18-19 season is positive with many other good projects going on that folks should be aware of. The key point is there is a lot of money on the table out there trying to secure water and habitat to set the playing field up successfully for the future. I will do my best to cover what notes I took.
Ric is a tremendous asset for Grasslands water. He is very knowledgeable and works tirelessly to make sure we have places to enjoy waterfowl.
· Key point for hunters to walk away with is it takes billions of dollars to maintain water supplies for waterfowl. The GWD is working very hard in ensuring we have the supplies to keep this going.
· 21-22 will be both be hunted together again. If there are complaints about being too close they are subject to close again so make sure you are smart about low flying birds, etc.
All in all it was a good meeting with a ton of information shared. I did my best to take notes and relay the message. It is nice to see more people attending and there was some good public input as well but nothing early ****tering there that I felt compelled to discuss.

I appreciate all the notes, Rick!
