Bad Economy Is Bad For Deer Management

Jed D. from West Virginia writes to ask
about the impact of the bad economy in the United States on wildlife
management. “The economy is bad and from all appearances will continue to be
bad for several more years if not longer. We hear about cutbacks all the
time. And we hear about various states functioning on the brink of
bankruptcy. What impacts are we seeing with our state fish and wildlife
agencies, and how will this affect deer management from the state perspective?”
