Lawmakers Stop Maine Anti-Hunting Campaign
AUGUSTA, ME—Maine lawmakers have struck down an anti-bear hunting bill before it could even be introduced. Earlier this month, the Maine Legislative Council refused to allow the introduction of Legislative Request 2877, which would've banned black bear hunting with hounds. Maine Republican Rep. John Churchill had sponsored the proposal. "This would have been the seventh legislative effort by anti-hunters this year to ban or unreasonably restrict the state's black bear hunting season," said Rob Sexton, U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance vice president for government affairs. "Vigilant Maine sportsmen and legislators who are supportive of the state's hunting heritage have defeated efforts to rout the hunt." In Nov. 2004, Maine voters rejected Question 2, which would've banned hunting black bears over bait, with hounds and bear trapping.

Almost hard to believe that there are some lawmakers with common sense.  Lawdog
