Please drop the current alligator gar proposal until further scientific studies indicate it is necessary.

The Issue

The undersigned oppose the unnecessary proposed changes to alligator gar harvest regulations.  We feel that the current one per day rule is sufficient.  Furthermore, studies done by TPWD staff show that the recreational harvest of alligator gar is well below sustainable levels, as presented in TPWD news releases May 16 and August 11, 2011.
