One thing is for sure...if we were talking about eagles, there'd be an allowable impact of "zero"...and those who killed ONE would go to jail...same with other critters that are on the ESA.

Salmon/steelhead are the only ones we are allowed to kill, and actually allowed to use their eggs for bait to catch more of them...anyone wonder why the conservation/preservation community doesn't see us as a partner in this?

Fish on...
