I used to do a fair amount of testifying for a state organization and I recall several delegates telling me that they consider *one* letter or telegram to be representative of 1000 voters. So if you cannot attend these heraings, be sure and write or email your state senator or delegate. Emphasize that your concerns are with safety and reasonable access, plus the fact that there are far more birders and other non-consuming users of the outdoors than there are hunters. As a flyfisherman, I also oppose Sunday hunting. None of our local TU chapter dares to go fishing in certain state parks during deer season; at least one member was fired on (by a rifle, in a shotgun-only zone!) while walking from the parking lot to the stream. Luckily he was unhurt; the "hunter" ran off when the fisherman yelled. Gail Mackiernan Silver Spring, MD
