BAR,
No one in the leadership of the LSBA now or the past has ever given up on any issue that effects our sport. As president, two terms, and legislative chairman years ago, I bear the scars of dealing with the early years of anti-bowhunting that was dealt mostly by TP&W and County Commissioners Court. We won some of the battles, lost a few, and had to make some concessions along the way to maintain the "Special Archery Season", which began in the early '60's on a limited basis of 9 counties in the hillcountry.
I was a part of the conception and beginning of the LSBA in 1974. I still serve the LSBA to the best of my ability.
I seldom express my views on this website, but when I do, you can bet your S.A. they are from experience, not a defeatish attitude.
I do agree with you on one thing, Jack Jetton has done a fine job dealing with the problems this past year, and I am glad he has signed up for another year.
