6.1B over 50 states is minimal to down right tiny. Think about the vast areas they manage/oversee. All the research they have to do on a yearly basis to figure the health and numbers of game animals. It's a daunting task for that amount of money. I know it's hard to imagine any amount of money ending in billion being a minimal amount. But if you look at it in a country wide aspect overseeing millions of acres, millions of hunters, and 100's of millions of game animals you might just begin to understand the very hard task the DOW has.
