A request hs been made to make a change in the law that would allow non-resident participation in Nite Hunts under a permits system similar to bird field trials. The IDFG official has requested that Idaho residents voice their support to their local Fish and Game Commisioner and Jeff Gould from the IDFG.

Ha there has been a lot of talk around colville of starting the trycounty hound club back up.... this was in the past a good event and i think there are enough dogers around to do it again.

[Machias]

I'd join Brian. If anything gets going, please let me know. Thanks!

Will do but if Idaho guys don't speak up it might not happen.

[DEE POWELL]

I THINK WE NEED TO CHANGE THE DATES ON THE BUDDY HUNT TO MARCH 12TH SINCE THE TEMPS ARE GOING TO BE AROUND 5 DEGREES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AND NEVER REACHING ABOVE FREEZING SO COONS WILL NOT BE MOVING AND THERE IS NO NEED IN MANY OF US DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS TO HAVE A POOR HUNT.
SORRY FOR ANY INCONVIENCE THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED AND LOOK FORWARD WITH MEETING YOU ALL THE LAST WEEKEND OF COON SEASON FOR WASHINGTON.

[Machias]

Good call, looks like it may even be down to negative 5 or so. March 12th works for me. See you then.

[DEE POWELL]

BUDDY HUNT IS ON FOR SATURDAY MARCH 12TH, WILL BE MEETING IN POMEROY, WA AT 6:00 PM AND LEAVING GOING TO THE WOODS AFTER WE ALL MEET AND B.S. A LITTLE.
MEET AT 394 HIGH ST POMEROY, WA. MAPQUEST WILL GET YOU TO HIS FRONT DOOR, SO EVERYONE BRING YOUR DOGS AND LET'S HAVE SOME FUN.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HUNT A DOG TO ATTEND; AS I SAID IN THE BEGINNING THIS IS A START TO HAVING A CLUB IN EASTERN WASHINGTON AND WESTERN IDAHO.

[Machias]

Looking like the weather might just be real nice for this. Looking forward to meeting folks!

[Idaho Bison]

There are storms coming but looks like we are going to slip between two storms.
