Is TN Birds an appropriate place to be advocating either side of a political
issue?
But, now that you have opened that door, let me note that I am long-time
conservationist, birder, and hunter. I support this proposition. As such,
I intend to email Mr. Chase and express that support, along with the many
others who already have.
Thank you.
