hey Bob,

nobody "trapped" buffalo, but the trappers became the
buffalo hunters along with mountain men, Johnny Hayseeds from the Colonies, and whoever the efffelse wanted to collect a sweet bounty~~~ once the US Gov't targeted the bison as an integral part of "ridding the West of the heathen savages" the slaughter was awn and it was without regard for species or the Peoples whose Lives depended so heavily upon such a noble and majestic breed of animal. to this day, it is the cleanest red meat source on the planet and the added benefits of hide for shelter and clothing, teeth and horns for tools and utensils, etc,,,,,,,,,makes the buffalo such an amazing and God-given animal, imho.

hey Doug,

that's cool,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just like most comm's i know~~~ when yer feet get put to the firey voice of conservation and reasonable sacrifice, or when you are asked to consider the Striper as something more than $$$$ cash COWS for the good of all and for the future of our children's children,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,then everyone else is an idiot, fudged science reigns supreme, and the status quo MUST REMAIN at all costs, beit species, environment, or man!!!

Jess,if you're really concerned about the future of the striped bass,armed with the knowledge that recs kill more bass than comms,I think you are trying to close the wrong fishery.I mean,if it's all about the bass' survival,you should close the fishery doing the most damage,no?

YUP! agreed, mi amigo.

for me it is just one part of the three pronged attack and
i certainly do not think that reducing the take is ALL that there is to the Striper puzzle.

we MUST be concerned with the worsening pollution of their spawning and migratory estuaries, we MUST also take care of one of their primary forages~ the bunker ~so that they can restore their biomass(better length to weight ratios) to pre purse seining figures and aid them in their recovery from the rampant bactaereosous(sp?) that endangers them yearly.

and we MUST do whatever else it takes to leave the American Striper Stocks better than we found them when our generation began to cast the surf,,,,,,,,,,,,,,am i asking for the moon? i don't think so, change, most certainly!
