Your post is WILDLY incorrect.
Please point out where i in any way stated the feds are tracking harvest rates, doing aerial surveys, radio collaring game, or winter feeding?
Go on Dave, read it over a couple more times, digest it, think it over real carefully and then get back to me.
Do you know what obtuse means?
When you’re looking up the issue of who owns (and manages) wildlife on federal lands as per court ruling(s) LONG ago,…look that meaning up as well.
If you don’t believe the state manages wildlife, and now you’re implying you don’t believe the Feds do either…who do you think does?
All of the aforementioned methodologies (aerial surveys, radio collaring, winter feeding, etc.) ARE what constitutes game management. The state does those things…the Feds do NOT.
I’ll throw in enforcement responsibilities since the obvious seems to escape you. The STATE is responsible for enforcement of hunting/fishing laws as well.
Why you ask?…because they (animals) belong to the state. Thusly, their harvest and associated tag costs are the purview of the STATE…not the feds.
Not sure how to dumb this down anymore, so hopefully you can follow this line of logic. If not, best of luck getting laws changed in your non-native state I guess?
