Steve Windham was selected by Governor Perdue to take over the chairmanship and the selection was approved by the Wildlife Commissions at yesterday’s meeting. Steve Windham was originally appointed to the board by Governor Easley as an at large commissioner and just recently re appointed by Governor Perdue.
Windham replaces outgoing chairman Wes Seegars who is expected to remain on the Commission serving out his remaining term. Wes Seegars took over the chairmanship after the untimely death of John Pechmann and chaired the board for 3 years.
Hopefully Mr. Windham will do a good job, listen to the professional staff, and look out for the wildlife resources across the state. I’ve already heard from a few turkey hunters that are not happy with his appointment and will hold his feet to the fire if he attempts to alter the turkey season structure like he has in the past.
Myself I say lets give the man a chance I met him for the first time the other day and he seemed reasonable and engaged in the issues at the Big Game Meeting.
Moose Droppings is a place that chronicles my journey, Ill explore new places and ideas Ill learn new things and Ill teach the things Ive learned to others. Join me on the adventure and hopefully it will help you in your outdoor endeavors.
