Forest/trees. Speaking of personal bias - what point (or impression) are you really trying to make here? Guns are EVERYWHERE in Israel - and they know how to use them. Virtually every teacher is a veteran - and there are guns in every school. Also, school has fences, gates, and ARMED...

Remember Andy Rooney's television observations and commentary? One he might make here if he was still with us: did you ever notice that the more facts emerge, the more the supply of "experts" dries up? :cool:

I think you are onto something here. It would be nice to see some bumper to bumper SUV filled roads and hotels/motels fully booked at "desk" rates months before the pheasant (and grouse - maybe a richer target in MN) opener. Also - pretty good waterfowl hunting up there, eh? Sounds as if...

S. - I sent a PM but no reply, so I'm thinking that perhaps it hasn't occurred to you to check that. I'm still in the learning mode here, so here goes. PD says he squeezed 318% of prior levels out of the PR goose. Some of which was drawn from other KS wildlife areas but the point being...

You "may" become concerned AFTER the courts are packed and the filibuster is nuked? Too late to recover then. For all of us. Breitbart has its own lean, but compared with MSNBC, CNN, NBC, and Fox for crying out loud - their reporting is consistently far more factual. Not a new thing; I've...

Update. President Biden no longer wishes to crush natural gas along with oil. He told union leaders this today, so you know you can put it in the bank - better dump those uranium stocks pronto. To show you what a pal I am - I'll take 'em off your hands at only a small discount. :)

Well, that would have told us what the state did with the pittance it did manage to retrieve. But nothing of the process for allocation - or how much more the state would have garnered had it pursued these funds in a more robust manner. So - generally - a PR (public relations that is, groan)...

Yes, but of course the real point is/was/remains that there was a ton of PR money being left on the table by KDWPT. Emphatic pronouncements by miscellaneous "experts" notwithstanding. This never should have happened. The lack of transparency in and effective oversight of the KDWPT's budget...

RE: on-line ammo sales ban legislation. Yes, of course. Joe Biden's Gun Control Proposals Include Ban on Online Ammo Sales (breitbart.com)

Thanks for the clarification, and confirmation - and VERY good to hear. More than three times the funding to benefit KS wildlife at zero cost to the KS taxpayers. That is a major win for ALCON. Any chance of similar initiatives to modernize KDWPT's budget development, execution, and...

Yes, you do seem like a nervous wreck. Which suggests that you are paying attention to, and understand, what is unfolding before our eyes. Never thought I'd see the day. Wish I hadn't.

We have 25 pages and only a bit short of 20k views on this string!! That's what a vigorous exchange of views and even the occasional fact can do, IMHO. Good stuff, I think. Better yet, if it results in more KDWPT funding at no cost to Kansas taxpayers. There seems to be real potential for...

Really a "management 101" question - not political, or at least not intended to be. Keep up the good work. And keep asking questions about KDWPT's budgeting and funding processes. You, even more than the rest of us here, deserve straight answers and a better understanding of how our...

I can see that I need to curb my cynicism. I totally agree with you, and am myself one of those dirty rotten capitalists. Not an outfitter, though!

Well, that's something - at least I used to be right. To a point. Until recently. :) You are a great cheerleader for the organization at all levels, but my jury is still out. What does "doing" federal aid consist of? Not sure that will serve as a substitute for effective budget...

Opposite? Not at all. We are saying exactly the same thing.

PD, I know you work very hard, and that your heart is right. But you prove the point: "As a result, we have changed the method we use to draw federal aide from PR. For me, that has increased my budget 318%." At no increase in expense to KS taxpayers. You did that on your own because you...

The patient seems pale, doctors- perhaps you are correct, we should bleed him more. If regulation coupled with taxpayer handouts were solutions, we'd be awash in pheasants by now. :)

You don't see a difference between stiff fines levied on those convicted of a crime in a court of law, vs mega search/seizure powers levied against those of us who have not been convicted (because we have committed no crime)?

PD, you often make a great deal of sense -but I think you may have missed the intent on this one. Not trying to change the PR act; rather, suggest that there might be ways of increasing KS success in its interaction with it. But more than that; resourcing in general. From my perspective - KS...
