Which is PRECISELY why I asked if it's a seperate entity or a state agency. If it's not a state agency, they can use whatever reason they want.

Now, without getting theological, isn't the sabbath supposed to be a day of rest, recouperation? And isn't hunting JUST that??? ESPECIALLY for the weekend warrior guys that only get out on the weekend??? I personally think it's total hogwash, and while I'm not familiar w/ the state or anything else, I would be welling to bet a doughnut or two that money is involved SOMEWHERE along the line.....
