I'm going to answer the first part of your question that related to whether we are bringing all of the elements together. I would urge all of the committee, as policy-makers, to consider the other elements that go into recruiting and retaining hunting and angling and trapping on the landscape.
There are many unintended consequences of policies, whether they be the whole gun registration file, the animal cruelty file, that make it more difficult to hunt and fish and trap on the landscape. As you consider environmental investments, I would urge that you consider the negative effect that those could have on this community.
Thank you.
