Expanded Hunting Opportunities

According to a Newsday article, President Bush ordered any federal agencies that manage public lands, outdoor recreation or wildlife to...
"facilitate the expansion and enhancement of hunting opportunities and the management of game species and their habitat."
It seems the Bush administration wants government agencies to look for more room for hunters to hunt and to step up efforts to conserve places where wildlife roam. The order impacts the Fed’s Interior and Agriculture departments, which manage 700 million acres. More chances for hunting waterfowl, big game and upland game birds is good thing as far as we’re concerned. And hopefully, as the Ag Department said the expectation is for...
"a natural balance among hunter, habitat and wildlife."

Coincidentally I posted about that order from Bush too. This is very good news for hunters. The government of British Columbia proposed a hunter enhancement law about two month ago and it looks like it is going through. I am thrilled to hear such good news from Canada and now America too. Hunters needed this boost and official acknowledgment.
