In some years, the non-Game fund hs, or had, more to spend then the Leg would allow.

It can get convoluted, though. There is lots of land bought by waterfowl hunters that is now being converted into salmon habitat at the expense of the ducks. While rehabbing the salmon habitat is fine, they should be required mitigate 1 for 1 the loss is upland/freshwater waterfowl habitat.

I think the new director, and Commission, are publicly saying that whoever pays the freight should have the biggest say but it is still the Olympia Clownshow that sets the actual funding in the budget.
