| I have a Bachelor of Science in Forest Wildlife Management and a Master of Science in Forestry (emphasis wildlife management) with a Minor in Applied Statistics. I was a school-mate of HAMMER'em. I've worked for the US Army Corps of Engineers for 17 years tomorrow. I've been a Park Ranger, Forester, Conservation Specialist, and recently promoted to Natural Resource Manager and will supervise a small staff of two Foresters, an Environmental Specialist, and an Archeologist. The Corps owns, and directly or indirectly manages, more than 100k acres in East Texas, not counting the water surface. Most of the lands are open to hunting, and we are very pro hunting and active forest management. As you can tell from some of my past posts, I am very pro-hunting and gun rights, sometimes to the point of being unpleasant about the opposite point of view. I've been to Alaska hunting and plan on going back. Africa is in sight as a destination in the fairly near future, I just figure that Alaska is not for the old.
If you are going to carry a big stick, you've got to whack someone with it at least every once in while.

| Seems hard to believe, but I will be graduating with a BS in Wildlife Biology from Auburn in December. Looking for a place to go to grad school, so if there are any professors here looking for a student, let me know! I hope to do research on game animals or applied land management for game species. Hope all is well with you all.

| I've had a hunting license every year since 1959 and have hunted each of the intervening years. I finished grad school with a doctorate in wildlife management in 1972. I consider that my career as a wildlife biologist started in 1967--so I have seen quite a few changes in the profession.
I live in a state where the extremist hunting interests have "captured" the fish and game department, the legislature and the last 3 governors. As a result, we now have a commissioner of fish&game with a degree in education and very limited experience (at age 31), and a director of wildlife conservation with no degree and experience only in animal damage control. About 50 former wildlife biologists with the department produced a letter of no confidence in the director to no avail. This is a real tragedy in a state where fish and wildlife resources are one of our most important assets.
At times, I'm embarassed to be a hunter. |

| After 10 years in the Army, I decided to get out and use my GI Bill. This was back in 1986. I obtained my BS in Wildlife and Range Mgmt from BYU. As I was nearing graduation, I was offered a chance to come back into the Army as a Reserve Recruiter. I did that for 14 years. I retired with 24 years total. By then, my current life style would have taken a huge cut in pay had I then gone into the Wildlife mgmt. So, I got the sheep skin and zero experience. Alan |

| I earned a degree in wildlife, along with my pilots license, and learned that unfortunately pilots and guides spend more time in the field than biologists. But I admire and support their dedication and advice. Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com |
