The more things change, the more they stay the same. The greatest generation
exerted a lot of energy and dispensed a lot of treasure dumping rainbow trout
into unique of pools of native fish all over the American west. They scoured
the globe for upland game birds to introduce in supposedly empty habitats. How
much did the White-crested Khaleej cost? The Rio Grande Turkey has been a
stellar success for ODF&W. After following the occasional thread on this list I
wonder if native wildlife see it that way? Lars
