America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

He turned them in to the Game Warden. His private wells that provided water for his livestock and the wildlife on both private and public land were mysteriously vandalized costing him a significant amount of money for repairs. He never reported poachers again. Said he couldn't afford it. Pretty sad state of affairs and due to the average hunter/fisher turning a blind eye to too much going on rather than helping get it stopped. Law enforcement can't do it on their own, they have to have the publics support.

That was several years ago before treatment for prostrate cancer advanced to where it is today. It got him. Kinda hard on me as he was more or less designated grandfather to me. Both of mine long gone before I arrived. He was the guy what tried to teach me to trap coyotes. He was good at it. I wasn't and not having much success, lacked the payoff to see it thru. One of my biggest regrets.

Not sure how MS is funded Here in Georgia, the DNR LE budget comes from the state general fund. Licenses sales are matched by federal funds according to guidelines set by the Pittmam-Roberson Act. PR funds can only be used for wildlife management amd hunter ed.....not LE. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service
