Thanks Rick !!! Members Copy and keep Pushing !!!! <'TK>< :)
Please ad my voice to the thousands of others, who will legally resist efforts to further restrict access to the tailwaters below Kentucky and Middle Tennessee dams.
All forms of hunting and fishing inherently hold some level of hazard to the participants. Statistically, traveling to-and-from the site of our chosen outdoor sport via our interstate highways, is more dangerous than the activity itself.
As your oft cited Code of Federal Regulations points out, the policy of the Corps of Engineers, is stated to include management of the natural, cultural, and developed resources of each project, “...in the public interest”. It is our intent, through our respective legislators; from both houses, and from both sides of the isle, to explain to Corps leadership just what those cultural interests are in Middle Tennessee and Kentucky.
While we sincerely thank you for your overall service to our country, we feel the planned action is unwarranted in a non-emergency situation, and that its method of autonomous, autocratic presentation to the public, will serve to revive the term, “Tennessee Volunteer”.
Respectfully,
R.A. Duty
