Re: [VFB] corn in trout diet

In fact, our wonderful ex-governor, Governor Spendenning, had pushed a bill 
into the state congress to move all game management decisions from DNR to 
some politically appointed board.  I think the bill died a slow death, I 
haven't been able to find any info on the state's web site about it.  That 
would have been wonderful.  Some anti-outdoorsy types deciding how our 
wildlife would have been managed, rather than letting experts determine 
what to do.

There is a law against harrassing legal hunters and fishers in 
Maryland.  The problem is personnel.  The DNR Police have the same 
authority as the State Police.  They aren't just game wardens.  There are 
game wardens in all of the parks, but the police are underfunded and 
understaffed.

Our ex-governor married an anti-outdoor sports person (meaning hunting and 
fishing) and redirected many of the resources to other areas.  I think I 
heard the other day that there are only about a dozen patrol cars for DNR 
Police in the whole state.
