Gary Morris Wildlife Quotations

Mississippi and Tennessee offer some of the best deer hunting opportunities in the nation and are noted for having high quality state wildlife conservation and management programs. We are confident we can lay the groundwork in these two states for a program that expands to several other states in future years.

The money that funds wildlife management comes entirely from the hunting and fishing community through licensing fees and federal funds that are apportioned to states based on the number of licenses sold. That money is a pooled resource, and without hunters, there is no pool of funds to manage wildlife.
