quit wasting our money

[Chaffee2]

If I understood the news today the state or feds are going to pay $18,000,000 to reduce the elk herds in RMN Park. If the gov has that kind of money to throw around lets have some of it back.

What is wrong with these poeple? Why not have a deprivation hunt and the state could actually make money. They want to decrease the herd by 1000. 1000 x $50 = $50,000 plus all the revenue from taxes and such. So what if it is a park, man made the laws and caused the problems so waive the no hunting until the herds are in check. The numbers would be checked, the elk dispersed. So what if some bunny hugging boulderites wet their beds and go crying into the night. So unless the gov has a huge surlpus of money quit wasting it.

Yeah ticks me off too, working for the US Fish and Wildlife Service, we ain't got shit for money to do just what the Department of Interior says we have to do, so yeah, stop wasting the money and let the hunters get er' done.

I'm with you guys. If the herds have to get "reduced" that means killing the animals right?

So what's the diff to anybody between some contractor doing it or licensed hunters?

For the sake of not getting my self in trouble I won't comment about the obvious things all of you have pointed out already. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Edit to add: the day the Gov makes sense please let me know.

The difference?

Probably the number of "fact finding" trips the contractors take the politicians on vs. the politicians having to sign up for a tag like an ordinary plebe.

Also the amount of elk meat winding up in politician's freezers vs. the freezers of taxpayers.

$18,000,000 / 1000 Elk = $18,000 per dead Elk!!!

Something is rotten in Denmark :evil:

I'll gladly let them pay me $18,000 for every elk I kill.

I'd like to see the reintroduction of wolves to thin the herd.

...but they probably won't eat politicians since it's akin to cannibalism.
