And, Jim, the "entire assumption" of my article is that some legislators won't let people who value wildlife but don't hunt on the Board of Game.  The same can be said for most, if not all current Board of Game members, and people like you.  Why does it always have to boil down to PETA for you people?  If you don't think funding of federal and private wildlife management agencies counts, then why do Sen. Kelly and others like you keep insisting that the relatively minuscule funding coming from the excise tax on firearms and ammunition count?  My "entire assumption" is that wildlife belongs to everyone and everyone deserves representation on the Board of Game.
