Wyoming Game and Fish face another budget shortfall
quote:
The state is currently trying to do just that with wolves and grizzly bears.

What we have here is our federal tax dollars being spent to introduce wolves and our state tax dollars being spent trying to get rid of them.....

And we have to hear that we need to spend more in taxes because the game and fish folks don't have enough....sorry folks.....the problem isn't that I'm not paying enough in taxes.....!! Mad stir

It isn't the Wyoming taxpayer who is paying for all this (Wyoming does not have a state income tax), it is anyone who has purchased a hunting or fishing license. That makes it even more unbearable...

and it's hard to sell elk licenses when the wolves have eaten the elk....

Wyoming might be able to hunt wolves this Fall if the antis don't get their way, but costs will not go down as they will be even more involved in the management of the critters to insure they don't get relisted on the ESA.
