I am always very jaded with these type of things??? Are the greenies trying to make a change? Is there a problem with the current name? Game and Fish implies hunting and fishing, killing and eating. This sounds like a good name for a group that oversees a big zoo!

This just doesn't smell right to me.

I think Patterson tries it every year. It is kind of a running joke.

I saw that the commission voted it down 5-0 (for what that's worth).

 

Does this one mean I can hunt with an Uzi?
