There is no shortage of debate and controversy over fisheries and wildlife management or the ethical treatment of animals. As part of my direct involvement in these matters, I am often contacted or referenced regarding these subjects. My position is simple, has remained unchanged since childhood, and is published here, for those who may care -- one way or the other.

"As a lifelong sportsman, and big game angler, in particular, I don't condemn anyone for exercising their legal right to harvest an animal. I do, however, practice, promote and strongly encourage the responsible use, enjoyment and management of all natural resources, and do not condone purely wasteful practices of any kind". -stp-
