Public Comments Public Comments Deer License Allocation Dustin Mund Lead SD [email protected] Comment: support support Chet Peterson Freeman SD [email protected] Comment: oppose Nathan Scherer Custer SD [email protected] Comment: I strongly support the proposal to require individuals to select their most preferred license from the six seasons in the first draw. This would give me and my family a better chance to hunt in the Black Hills where we live every year, instead of every third year the way it is now. Thank you for approving this proposal and I hope you finalize it at your October meeting. God bless Nathan Scherer Casey Ellerton Custer SD [email protected] Comment: I strongly disagree with changing the deer tag draw, I believe this will create less opertunities for hunters than more. Leave it the way it is. Nathan Gerlach Pierre SD [email protected] Comment: I¶d prefer that it was left as is. This is going to take away from east and west river deer hunters. I would like the option to keep getting the potential buck on both sides of the river. Matt Kutz Highmore SD Comment: This is not a good deal for anyone everyone will lose out. If your trying to ruin the hunting in sd you¶re going at it the right way. Mathew Fetherhuff Aberdeen SD [email protected] Comment: I believe that the allocation process we have now, is plenty adequate. Being able to apply for east and west river opens up great opportunity for multiple hunts per year. I do not believe that the pressure for certain tags will decline, as you will always have people who only want to hunt one certain unit every year. Tonisha Mund Lead SD [email protected] Comment: Deer license allocation process, alternative #1 support Justin Murphy Crooks SD [email protected] Comment: I strongly oppose the change to deer tag applications. Tags are a lottery. You can¶t please everyone. People who hunt multiple tags spend a great deal of time and money each year. Why punish someone for putting in the time to apply and pay preference points? Please reconsider your stance on this proposal and keep the deer tags alone. Adam Holen Brookings SD Comment: For people who put in multiple tags, they are still not gaurenteed a tag. Even to draw either way still takes a couple years of preference. Tom Jensen Harrisburg SD [email protected] Comment: Strongly oppose any change. Please reject proposal and leave system as is. The current system is effective and fair. Jesse Hartman Lennkx SD Comment: I don't want to have to choose between family and hunting my other spots. I am sick and tired of all these changes. People need to suck it up buy their preference points and wait that's what makes the hunt that more special and then maybe people would get out of the vehicles and actually hunt knowing it could possibly be the only time they get a tag. I don't want any changes. If there is a change what are the cost of the deer tags gonna go up to because I know the revenue the gfp used to make isn't gonna be crap if there is a change. Tyler Aadland Webster SD [email protected] Comment: Why not start with nonresidents. Put them in for a drawing for an archery tag don¶t allow them over the counter tags. They have to draw a tag to shoot a goose but not a deer? Doesn¶t make much sense! Every other state starts with reducing tag numbers for non residents why does this state have to be different. If the commissioners would have been a little smarter 10 years ago and not given every person 4 deer tags maybe we would still have deer. Maybe they should try being proactive instead of reactive and waiting for a problem to start before they try to fix it! Kyle Kaskie Aurora SD [email protected] Comment: I support the current deer tag allocation process. Through planning, I am able to draw desired tags on a yearly bases. I am able to spread my hunting time across the state with this process and believe the new purposed process would take away from these opportunities. I also enjoy having the ability to hunt multiple desired units in a single year when the stars align (every couple years). The system is called a lottery for a reason and I don't believe it is going to help a single person draw a more sought out unit on a yearly basis, like some people think the new proposal will obtain. Daniel Feldhaus Ipswich SD [email protected] Comment: Leave as is for gun tag applications. Mature buck numbers are going down need to go to a nine day rifle season and eliminate the late doe season for rifle. Deer are getting pushed around way to long right now they don't stand a chance. Also need to cut way back/cap non resident bow tags it is overrun out west to the point it's not even fun to go. Clint Barber Aurora SD Comment: I would prefer the state leaves the tag allocation the way it is currently setup. With the use of special buck tags, an individual can draw almost every year, east & west river. I think the proposal will add confusion to the drawing process, and make it more difficult to remember deadlines. Also, based on the table I saw, it showed a majority of hunters were actually opposed to changing the current system. Thank you for your consideration. Alex Heilman Sioux Falls SD [email protected] Comment: Option three was by far the popular vote. We have so many opportunities in this state and you guys choose to go with the one that limits them the most what a joke. Why have polls and surveys if they don't mean anything? Do what's right and go with option three. Nick Hauert Harrisburg SD [email protected] Comment: I really prefer the system as is. I am a multi season hunter and believe the current system works great. Skyler Burke Rapid City SD Comment: There is plenty of deer and GF&P has done a great job managing deer from year to year and me and my family enjoy hunting several different areas for bucks or does. It allows us to spend more time outdoors and see new parts of the state. I don¶t understand how the way it is currently hurts anyone. I don¶t fill half the buck tags I get each year not because I don¶t see deer but I¶m waiting for giants which is what is happening each year. Due to trail cams and scouting I have seen the deer quality improve drastically. Thank you for your time. Keep it up! Shauna Woodward Tulare SD [email protected] Comment: I wish they would just leave it alone. Thanks Judy Carroll Rapid City SD [email protected] Comment: I feel your going to make it even harder for us residents wanting a deer tag. If you look at the numbers of people that put in for each season and unit, there's way more people than tags so their never truly will be a second or third choice drawing for those units and need to make archery tags for nonresidents a draw only. Too many mule deer being shot by archery nonresidents and the same goes for youth tags should be whitetail doe only tags to stop shooting so many mule deer does. Zachary Knox Spencer SD [email protected] Comment: Please please do not change anything. I like hunting on both sides of the river every year! Charles Hamre Canton SD [email protected] Comment: I think its crap to pool all the tags together. I put in alot of hours and days on the phone and driving east and west river to find spots, knock on doors begging farmers to hunt. Doing research on the refugees to find good spots to hunt so I can hunt more then one tag a year. Now these guys that sit at home and only hunt one spot and won't do any work to find other places to hunt sit and bitch because they can't draw any tags when they don't do the work. I draw 4 bucks tags a year and I fill them tags because I put in the time before the season and during the season. Now I might only get luck and get 2 tags or 1 tag. It's been that way for the last 18 year I have been chasing deer. Why does the gfp always have to go changing things all the time. Just leave it alone. Make the guys that want to shoot deer go out and do the work to find the deer and get permission in other spots besides there back yard. Seth Dawson Howard SD [email protected] Comment: I think changing the deer tag draw is a huge mistake and will only hurt the sportsman of South Dakota dramatically, I think the draw should be left the way it is and no change should be made. We should not have to choose between hunting West River East River or the hills for 1st choice. I and many friends I hunt with save all our vacation just for hunting and plan our trip around multiple tags a year this would greatly affect our spending across the state and we will start buying tags in others states if we can only get limited tags in South Dakota each year.

  • Thesis from Parks to Presidents: Political
    THESIS FROM PARKS TO PRESIDENTS: POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES OF NARRATIVE POLITICAL FICTION Submitted by Seth J. Willden Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Master’s Committee Advisor: Nick Marx Karrin Vasby Anderson Doug Cloud Copyright by Seth J. Willden 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT FROM PARKS TO PRESIDENTS: POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES OF NARRATIVE POLITICAL FICTION This thesis examines the ways televised narrative political fiction can portray political sensibilities. Using the NBC program, Parks and Recreation (2009-2015), and the Netflix streaming service program, House of Cards (2013-2016), I explore how narrative television presents political philosophies to audiences, equipping them to discuss political discourse. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before we begin discussing the political implications of narrative television, I must first provide a narrative of acknowledgement. The MA program in Communication Studies is only a two-year program, and this document marks the end of that two-year journey. But I have been at Colorado State for five years. In a way, the last chapter of this thesis will be the last literal chapter of my five-year career as a CSU student. I wish to first thank the professors that transformed my understanding of the world: Dr. Thomas Dunn, Dr. Scott Diffrient, and Dr. Eric Aoki. You were my first communication studies professors. Each in turn provided excellent education, guidance and support throughout my time as a scholar. I will never forget your pedagogical styles and hunger for understanding the communicative processes of our world. Next I want to thank my thesis committee: Dr.

    Running head: POSTFEMINISM AND FEMALE FRIENDSHIP Postfeminism and female friendship: A content analysis of Parks and Recreation and Girls by Ashley Beairsto A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Women and Gender Studies. September, 2019, Halifax, Nova Scotia © Ashley Beairsto, 2019 Approved: Dr. Marnina Gonick Supervisor Approved: Dr. Michele Byers Reader Approved: Dr. Sailaja Krishnamurti External Date: September 20, 2019 POSTFEMINISM AND FEMALE FRIENDSHIP 2 Postfeminism and female friendship: A content analysis of Parks and Recreation and Girls by Ashley Beairsto Abstract This thesis explores how two popular TV shows, Girls and Parks and Recreation, portray and talk about female friendship, particularly as it relates to the notion of the postfeminist girlfriend as proposed by Alison Winch. Utilizing a combination of content analysis and critical discourse analysis, it explores how these shows draw on discourses of feminism and postfeminism. It finds that Girls more than Parks and Recreation relies on discourses of postfeminism and replicates behaviors of the postfeminist girlfriend. It finds that both shows struggle to address issues of class difference and are guilty of post-race sentiments. Finally, it finds that Parks and Rec, more than Girls, reiterates feminist sentiments. Parks gives an overall feminist sentiment, while Girls walks the line between feminism and postfeminism. September 20, 2019 POSTFEMINISM AND FEMALE FRIENDSHIP 3 Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis could not have been possible without the support and assistance of so many. To my supervisor, Dr. Marnina Gonick, for providing ongoing support.
