Think hunters and fishers are upset now? Imagine if the Department stopped being the Department of Hunting and Fishing, and actually became the Department of Fish & Wildlife?

Any fishing for salmon and steelhead at all would end that day.

Fishermen and hunters are a very small minority, and don't wield schit for political power, at least not in any way, shape, or form like they think they do.

You really want the other 95% of the citizenry electing people to determine your hunting and fishing?

No, you don't.

Fish on...
