FORT PIERRE — An argument about equal rights took place a few days ago during the meeting of the state Game, Fish and Parks Commission.

...

And more specifically, equal rights in the opportunity to take fish, whether by spear, arrow or hook.

Or, as commissioner Paul Dennert of Columbia put it, spears and arrows have been around much longer than motor boats and electronic depth-finders.

It’s an interesting, fundamental question.

I don't know what is more disturbing: that the people have to petition government for permission to fish, or that the author considers the matter of spearfishing to be a "fundamental question"

What is a travesty are laws that allow Indians to net the big fish. The Indians are depleting the fresh water of all the big fish.

What the f...er...Sandra Fluke are we asking our low IQ bottom of the barrel gubmit idiots for permissions on fishing methods?

Folks, this really does have to end.

And, it will not take violence...all we have to do - en mass - is to just simply tell the gubmit dorks to shove it up their collective Obamaholes.

There are many more of us than them, and we know (or should know) where they live.

And their routes to and from work.

It is long past time to make THEM worry about US, not visa versa.

Hey, I liked Flounder in Animal House.

Hook ‘em and cook ‘em or spear ‘em and sear ‘em, both should be legal! Throw in archer ‘em and parch ‘em.

oh good grief, if the Indians are eating the fish, what's the difference...your warning sounds like one against global warming....let the Indians have the fish, as long as they don't burn wood to cook them with

If there’s a need for more fish, breed them.

CaC2 is better, smaller, and it fries `em at the same time.
