Keith Rogan and I have some disagreement about hunting regulations, money, law, science, emotion--the mix of these. He has a certain amount of optimism about the power of the money involved in hunting; I'm somewhat pessimistic.
This article from World Net Daily shows how a series of events can lead to a court decision of harm to people's livelihoods. Well down in the article is a comment about the science that led to the original set of regulations that this later court decision upheld.

This particular instance has to do with irrigation water for farming being totally withheld in favor of fish. The unintended consequence (ah, that phrase, again!) will be the death of wildlife which depend on both the water and the pattern of farming--food for the predator-prey chain--and the loss of hunting. (See? I can can get on topic. )
Nuff for now,
