Noted Quote: Teaching A Child To Fish

On the attributes of teaching a child to fish: "Fishing teaches values. It teaches patience when you have to wait, success when you catch a fish, and it helps with esteem when you catch a really big one. And generally, it's fun." ~ Oklahoma City Parks & Recreation biologist Bob Martin, as quoted by The Oklahoman's Bryan Painter.

Coffee's Sportsman Protection Bill Passes Panel

The Senate Tourism and Wildlife Committee today unanimously passed Senate Joint Resolution 38, which recognizes the right of Oklahomans to hunt and fish, by Co-President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee.

“Oklahoma has a rich history as an ideal location for hunting and fishing. Our state is truly a sportsman’s paradise. Sadly, there is a growing movement among radical environmentalists and animal-rights activists to restrict or eliminate hunting and fishing. This constitutional amendment would ensure that Oklahomans’ right to hunt and fish is protected by our state constitution,” Coffee said.
