Suggested message via Phil Taunton…..

 

Representatives of Kansas

 

I support HB2709 and support it passing to the floor. Illegal hunting is a plague on Kansas; endangers our outdoor heritage and traditions, our honest sportsman, their families and the fines and penalties should be increased.

With Respect……Concerned citizen


Here is a link to the Wichita Eagle outdoors page (Sunday) referencing the bill.
