Why, when they say they are low on funds?
You'd think they'd avoid any new projects and worry about finances.
Fishers are one of the few predators that regularly kill and eat porcupines.
Could it be, that the PGC is on another mission to save the trees. They seem really concerned about Timber, I mean trees.
Of all the game animals that could use funding ( pheasants, rabbits, grouse ) they choose to reintroduce another predator.
I beleive the fisher program was started a good while ago and I also think that much of the money wasoutside money. I'm strictly goingby memory here and may not be 100% accurate.
A lot of these programs are funded by fed money like Pittman Robinson dollars, donations, grants but I do agree that when it comes general fund money, the mainstream responsibilities of the PGC should prevail. For instance, personell is being cut by attrition at least. If the choice exists, and I'm not sure itdoes, general funds shouldn't be used on programs like this whenstaffing is suffering.
