solicitations. One group, the National Wildlife Federation, supports efforts to recompense rancher losses. But by & large, the others seek to expand membership, and file law suits. In many states, including Texas, hunters pay fees beyond licenses in the form of public hunting permits and state "stamps" which support management areas and ALL of the wildlife therein. More animal "rights" and animal welfare advocates should pick up this burden instead of bureaucracyzing sentiment.

I support wolf re-introduction; as a hunter, I don't get upset with the competition.
