49,
I don't have much time to carry on our great debate right now, so I'll try to hit the highlights of you last post to me.
1) I never said anything negative about the constitution. I have problems with abuse of power due to agendas.
2) The commissioner of the Dept. Of Conservation does have the power to regulate seasons, bag limits, and other regulations in compliance with Title 9 and our great Constitution. Check out Title 9-2-6
3) Your 60+ years of hunting, while pretty darn close, is still shy of the period that I referred to. Although, at your age with your infamous wisdom, you should be aware of that era.
4) Your check it out dude post were the prerequisites for a Wildlife Biologist. That is a completely different Section of the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division. "Game Wardens" are in the Law Enforcement Section, which is separate from the Wildlife Section. I don't have nearly as much time to pull things off the internet and post them as you do, but if you want to see the prerequisites of a Game Warden look at 70801-conservation enforcement officer. Sorry, but it's not the same section or position. That's a fact.
5) in case you're dealing with short term memory loss, you used the word "SILLY" in your previous post, which I think was....how did you put it....crap!
6) You insinuated when you said, " we hire" that Game Wardens came out of the General Fund. I realize now that not only did you not know that the Dept. of Conservation was one of very few self funded departments in the state, but you thought a Game Warden and a Biologist for the Dept. hold the same title and position. Wrong on both occasions.
7) I'm very aware of the studies that are carried out by the Department of Conservation on both living and non-living wildlife. We have multiple sub-species of deer in Alabama, and all the information that we can gain is vital. Not only to the benefit of the herd, but setting seasons and bag limits to encourage hunting and success down the road. I dare you to crawl off your 60+ years of experience, and ask your local WFF biologists their opinion....probably won't like what you hear!
I've seen the numbers, and what I've said is true. If you've bought a license and/or participated in hunting and fishing then you contributed. As much as you seem to be against change or laws/regulations, one cannot help think you have contributed in other ways.....
Flashing bits and pieces of laws/regs or bringing attention to bits and pieces of certain reports do not prove a thing. One has to know the whole story, and unfortunately use common sense. It helps to know the difference in basic information like divisions, titles, and authorities to begin with.
