Helpless, right. You would think it's unfair. Not only are all people created equal, but all animals are created equal. Please, don't be cruel. How would you feel if you were the deer?

Much of the money used in fish and game departments is used for programs that really are geared toward the general population. Therefore general tax dollars should pay for that. When an observation platform is built in the middle of a swamp for wildlife viewing, that should be paid for and maintained with general tax dollars or via use permits, or a license similar to a hunting or fishing license. Combining everything together into a blended mish-mash of programs is really a bad idea. I agree.

I agree. It's too bad states can't come up with creative ways to fund their wildlife departments better. Maybe if agencies got away from search and rescue, ATV and snowmobile enforcement, then more license and fee money could go to focus on managing fish and wildlife. General fund money could go to a different department, say a 'recreational safety' dept. or something along those lines. Great post Tom. I agree.
