a movie about Luger's

[wlyon]

As a forester for 32 years prior to my retirement, I can only hope that people will not believe the misinformation from the newspaper article.

I am tired of the misinformed, amateur environmentalist whom we hear from every time we try to do something. How they can acquire that much knowledge in a few short years is simply amazing.

Hunting under regulated management situations is one of the better tools to maintain the correct population of game/birds. We only have so much feed, particularly in the winter, for birds and animals to utilize. Overcrowding results in death by starvation and/or disease.

If some of the do-gooders would have to go out in late winter and eleminate the deer and elk that are so starved they cannot stand up, perhaps hunting would appear more humane.

Nobody respects wildlife more than I do. I spent my working career protecting them, watching them, enjoying them, improving habitat for them, and, yes, hunting them. It is about the only tool we have.

I hope we do not get persuaded by the "dicky-birders" as Australia has.
