New Hampshire Fish and Game
in dire financial situation
Executive Director Charles Barry told the Fish and Game
Commission and members of the committees of the house
and senate who oversee his department that unless a
minimum of $550,00O is provided drastic measures will have
to be taken. The three groups met in Concord on Wednesday
in an attempt to solve the financial problems of the depart-
ment.
Barry said, "We are not magicians. We have gotten to the
end of the line." He went on to list the many problems that a
lack of funds have created. Sixteen positions are now un-
filled, snowmobiles are nine years old and cars are five years
old and have over lO0,O00 miles on them. This old equipment
is very expensive to maintain.
The executive director provided copies of a letter he was
requested to send to the office of the governor listing ways he
would operate if he received no increase. The projection is
anathema to most sportsmen as it would have a very
negative impact on the hunting and fishing done in the
granitestate.
To reduce the operating budget by $550,000 Barry proposes
to: save $200,000 by leaving the sixteen positions unfilled;
close hatcheries in Richmond, Colebrook and Ossipee for a
savings of $122,000; curtail the marine fisheries program and
eliminate five positions for a $50,000 savings; cut $75,000 by
eliminating the deer management plan; no longer pay for
game damage for a savings of $26,000 and save $77,000 by a
severe reduction in the already hard hit areas of current
expenses and in state travel.
The results of the cuts should be obvious to the sportsmen.
The loss of personel will have a big impact on the long term
goal of improving hunting and fishing and the closing of three
hatcheries will mean a loss of 25 per cent in the stocking each
year. The commission had proposed last fall to raise the
necessary funds by increases in the cost of licenses and a
revamping of the types of licenses. This issue has been hotly
debated and many changes have been made in the proposals
and more were made on Wednesday.
1 think it is safe to say that the legislature will retain the
combination license and not allow for extra stamps for trout
fishing and deer hunting. Those items seemed to be the most
undesirable. Also certain to go is the proposal for a salt water
license. Over and over I heard members of the legislature
say, "Don't price the young out of the sport and cut your base
of support."
It is difficult to predict what will happen as the legislature
acts on the bill for license increases, but I am sure some
increase will be granted. For now you can buy your license at
the same price as in the past four years.
A proposal that seemed to have considerable support
among the legislators would take one half of one per cent of
the business profits tax for operation of the department.
Many states are now realizing what a huge economic impact
hunting and fishing have on the states and are willing to help

-- -- You do NOT have to be a member.
All program cuts are distastful, but without money one can
not operate. The solutions are up to the sportsmen and
residents of New Hampshire. Now is the time to do some soul
searching and decide just how important hunting and fishing
are to each one and what each is willing to pay to retain or
improve the sports.
Where is your dog?'
Dog owners are cautioned to know the whereabouts of their
pets at all times. Dogs allowed to roam often become killers
during the winter months. Even the most docile mutt will
often chase deer if given the chance.
Vermont law allows any law officer to shoot a dog found
chasing deer• A revision of this law in 1980 removed the
former time limit and now the law applies year round.
In addition the dog owner may pay up to a $100 fine and the
owner will lose any hunting, fishing or trapping licenses for
one year upon conviction for letting his dog chase deer.
Atarrning news
The President's Council on Environmental Quality said
that 15 to 20 per cent of all species of animal and plant life
could be lost in the next 20 years.
Reporting to Congress, the council listed the loss of animal
and plant life, the increasing contamination of underground
water supplies and the spread of desert like conditions in the
west as the three most pressing environmental problems of
the 1980's.
Between 1600 and 1900 approximately 75 mammal and bird
species disappeared. The rate has accelerated to one every
year in the past 80 years. In addition, huge number of plant,
fish and insect species also were lost. Remember, extinct
means never again !
WTtittaker urns of bad times
Environmental Secretary Brendan Whittaker made two
speeches in the last week that should galvanize sportsmen.
Speaking to the House Natural Resources Committee he
warned that the, " reatest
g , potential environmental hazard
for Vermont in the next few years is acid rain. The same
prediction was made at a meeting of the New Hampshire
Fish and Game Commission last week during a presentation
by a nationally known expert. More on that next week.
Speaking to the Barre Fish and Game Club, Whittaker
challenged sportsmen to fight for their right to hunt and fish.
He warned them that as Vermont becomes more urban with
the influx of downstaters who have not grown up with the
hunting ethic we could well find ourselves locked out from
most of the land.
To prevent a system such as is found in Europe where only
the wealthy can hunt or fish Whittaker urged the sportsmen
to organize and to police themselves. The landowner-hunter
