WTF is up with the new Deer Czar?

[sybylla]

I just saw this article on Facebook. I've heard others say they think this man wants to privatize our deer herd. This is the second time I've read something on this order about Walker's Texas Tool, Dr. James Kroll.

Our wildlife belongs to us, dammit, not landowners.

"...It is interesting to note that, in 2001, the State of Texas shifted its deer management strategies toward the same leanings that Kroll has suggested for Wisconsin. In Texas, the change was brought about via heavy lobbying from the high-fence deer ranching industry. This pressure helped convince the Texas Parks and Wildlife to change their regulations and allow private landowners to select the own deer biologists.

“That has given landowners more freedom,” Kroll told Texas Monthly. “(However,) You still have to let the state on your land to get a wildlife-management permit.”

The key difference here is that 98 percent of Texas is comprised of private land....

...According to the Wisconsin Realtors Association, more than 5.7 million acres of this land, or 16.5 percent, is publicly owned and used for parks, forests, trails, and natural resource protection...."

1. “(Public) Game management is the last bastion of communism.”

How wonderful to think that we're paying this man $125,000 a year....

2. Is the Deer Czar part of the John Doe investigation?
