265 Members in 22 hours.  Not a bad start.  I would like this to go big and hopefully get something out of it.  Not sure what, but we have plenty of time to figure that out.

You guys are wasting your time, even if every person in the state of minnesota was against tribal netting, they have a federal treaty which allows them to do whatever they want. They only work with the DNR out of good will, if they really wanted to they could kill every walleye on waters where they have fishing rights just because they feel like it. Now if you dislike the concept of tribal sovereingty, then you need to push for a national discusion over exactly what native tribes are. It has been in the interest of the federal government to both recognize and not recognize tribal sovereignty as it suits the federal government, and so it is still unclear whether the recongnized native tribes are sovergn nations, or something else. What this means is that they have certain fishing rights, but can't legalize pot (imagine how much money that would be) on reservations, and so on. The main point here is that, you have no legal recourse to stop tribes from using resources granted to them by the United States Government, from a legal stand point. Also, to the non-outdoorsman community, making a big stink about tribal netting, and the kinds of crazies that come out to protest it (I don't mean everybody, but it only takes one racial slur on a placard to brand a group), makes hunters and fishermen seem like a bunch of racist rednecks, which is bad for our public image, and given that we have bigger issues with the antis, it seems like a poor choice of issue to organize around. I know many of you will disagre with me, and I would love to hear your perspectives.

I would agree with you matmoodmahi. Having a voice on issues is obviously important to all of us, and there's always a couple of turds mixed in who can't intelligently portray their emotions in writing without sounding like idiots, which in fact does paint a broad brush over us all as outdoorspeople.
