Nelson Atkins accused the Rappahannock News of trying to turn landowners against hunters, apparently basing his charges on editorials that appeared in the News on February 22 and 29. He added that the paper was substituting opinion for fact and suggested that it “stick to what’s happening.”
Atkins recalled that years ago, the mast head of the Rappahannock News carried a picture of a bull on one side and a picture of an apple on the other. “They should put the bull back on,” Atkins suggested, sparking laughter from the audience.
"The game warden says he needs a tool (to enforce existing hunting laws),” Atkins continued. “The tool he needs is the respect of the local hunters.” Atkins charged that the warden should spend more time on enforcing laws that are currently on the books instead of spending “half his time trying to get these gun laws passed and the other half helping old ladies across the street.”
