I think it's sad they don't recognize the Pitman Roberts funds as hunter contributions. They seem to think the extra tax sportsmen imposed upon themselves is their own slush fund.
To the Department's credit, they do consider most of PR dollars as devoted solely to Hunting. There is a portion of the PR funding that can go to other wildlife projects (wolves, for example).
I was told that "only" approximately 30% of PR funds come from hunting related expenditures. The rest comes from the shooting community expenditures. WDFW is concerned that PR funds will be lower next year since fewer people feel compelled to buy AR's and such now that Trump is in office.
