There are multiple inclusions that clearly state Wildlife and Sportfish Restoration funds are to used for huntable and fishable species as well as species that are not hunted or fished. So none of those arguments really hold much water. I tried to the best of my ability to find specifics related to the actual Wolf Introduction. The information pool is Extremely small! Although most misappropriated funds in every political arena are kept rather hush, hush until the media is willing to run with a story.
I am planning on taking this article to the ATA show and give it to Jay McAninch asking for his help in finding related information. I'll have a second copy just in case I run into Paul Ryan too. Though I have not seen him in a while. From the bowhunting side I expect those two will give me the best leads to solid evidence...if it exists! Which from what I can find so far sounds like it does, somewhere. I just haven't found the formal print.
