Especially a place like Del Rio or Apline, has anybody tried to get media attention on this. Exposing that this law is based on implied and not actual data might go a few inches to make them look like fools? Maybe Roy can make a road trip each direction and show them how this will be like a thousand little bleeding wounds to Sanderson?

We need to start figuring out how to take the gloves off and make some changes..

And what the @#$% are the Jaycees doing about this, we have not heard anything that I know of. Did they get an under the table deal, or are they in closed door meetings over this, or what???

I recently coresponded with Bill Sontag at a local newspaper. He recently did an artile on Roy and The Outback. I posted the article down below, and it was for the most part a posituve article. Unfortunatly there are a few quotes in there about commercial collectors and out of state people coming and catching everything. Anyway when I corresponded with him, he said he was never really knew about the hobby, but was worried about what impact he have on the populations. I will get back in touch with him this evening.

We did not seek out this article but it came to us by accident.
Mr Sontag read the article to me and I corrected some things. I did not get a proof befor it was printed or we would have disagreed with him on the comercial collecting statement. We do not and did not say that people come to Texas and take everything they can. Just so everyone knows this IS NOT what we said.

I figured it was some comment completly taken out of context. Overall ot was a really nice article on a place we all love around here.
