ISSUE #7 

 Special Constituent Groups - 5 comments 

 Summary - 



Public comment indicated that before any changes are made in the current program an analysis of 

 data was needed to justify the change. 



• As one of the beneficiaries of the over 62 license discounts, I guess I'd suggest releasing some 

 solid demographic and cash-total data to justify any proposed changes in this provision. 



Response: FWP would provide both the public and the legislature, who would make 

 such decisions, the reasoning behind any proposed change in license structure. FWP 

 is not advocating the abolishment of the senior discount but used that as an example of 

 what could be done to meet losses of funding in the future.

Emphasize Wildlife & Habitat/Recreation - 2 comments 



Summary 



One commentor felt FWP should emphasize recovering T&E species, while the other felt trapping is 

 not acceptable. 



i - -- 



Sample of Comments: 



• Emphasis should be on "Recovering" T&E species then when recovered move to possible 

 delisting. 



• Trapping is an inhumane and unacceptable alternative in wildlife management 



Response: As proposed under the preferred alternative, FWP believes trapping is a 

 tool that is compatible with wildlife management. The preferred alternative also 

 * places additional emphasis on the recovery of T&E species.
