4. There's conservation efforts, and then there's

environmental conservation and protection efforts. Sportsmen (hunters and fishermen) pay taxes in support of game and fish for personal harvest. They do pay a lot for that. When it comes to overall ecosystem conservation, not so much. While it’s laudable that they support fish and game management efforts so willingly, I would say that ecosystem management/conservation goes well beyond fish and game and is far more important in the larger picture. Sportsmen who are Rs don’t typically support ecosystem management/ conservation goals to anywhere near the degree they do fish and game. At least that’s my experience having worked almost 40 years in natural resources management.
