No Whittingham protesters this year

[Bucksnbows]

I was a little disappointed. Was hoping to see the CUNY whack-job professor getting arrested again. I’ve seen it happen twice over the years. 
 

Saw some friends from the Division including the Director (now Assistant Commissioner) and former Chief of Freshwater Fisheries as well as Chief of I&E, all of whom I’ve worked closely with over the years. 
 

Mine was the third bear of the morning and the protesters were not on site. Apparently they weren’t last December either. Maybe they are finally admitting defeat or now plan other tactics which is more likely than just giving up. Took my bear to Tom the Butcher. First time using him.

Great. Congrats.   One less fawn killer

lol. I think the last time he was arrested the judge warned him there would be no more lenient sentences. I would have loved to see him spend 6 months in jail.

They were there. You just went to early.  CBS 7 was also there with some purple haired thing doing interviews.  Don't fall for their tricks.." no comment" 

Why are they even allowed to be there and film my vehicle and face.

You are in a public area, there is no expectation of privacy.

I just watched it. Former Senator Lesniak was there spewing his falsities. Pathetically squeezed into his old Army fatigues.

There was a Division employee there named Golden. Anyone know who he is? He was calmly and intelligently giving facts to the reporter .... highest bear densities in the country, etc

I was just walking my dog and ran into a bear with 3 cubs.

He is the Assistant Commissioner of DEP who heads the Division of Fish and Wildlife.

He’s the top dog. Dave is a straight shooter. We talked at length today, but mostly about brook trout in NH. He’s the Assistant Commissioner for F&W. Used to be a Director level job that is now up one level.

They showed later I heard. The news had a planned interview at noon and I knew that. Sounds like they waited for the news to show and staged their pitiful protest and went home.
