Joe Hare backs KY F & W management of wildlife Writer says the management of hunted species has caused them to flourish so they are plentiful for the enjoyment of all. Notes how, thanks to Kentucky Fish & Wildlife Department, he and grandson saw the first otter in the wild he'd ever seen in his nearly 60 years, near Holmes Bend on Green River Lake Comment on: The Truth About Hunting in Kentucky Commentary by Joe Hare I am a little older than Chris and I remember well when we had no deer, turkey, elk, geese, sandhill cranes and others. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Game have done a great job and we as sportsman, when we buy license, guns, ammo, and other equipment we pay for the restoration of all species, not just the one we try to harvest. I know a lot of people do not like or approve of hunting, but they will eat beef, pork, chicken, Turkey, fish etc., I don't see the difference. Also if they will take a close look at the history of our nation and really think about those species which are and have been hunted or fished for, in our modern era, they will see that not one of these species are on any endangered list. The management of these species have caused them to flourish so they plentiful for the enjoy of all. A good example of how the taxes sportsman pay are used is the project to reestablish the river otter in Kentucky. Many of you will remember when the KDFW released some of the otter into the Green River at Pellyton. Well just this past summer my grandson and I had the pleasure of watching a otter along the bank on Green River Lake as we were crappie fishing. We actually saw him on two different occasions. Our location was down the lake from Holmes Bend which is several miles from where the otter were released. I am more than 60 years old, grew up on Green River with my dad and uncles and this was the first time for me to see an otter in the wild. So keep up the good work Kentucky Department of Fish and Game. It will be important for our nation to manage all of our natural resources but that does not mean we can not harvest or use. We must be able to use timber, oil, gas, coal, water, and all God's other blessing for us. Management of these do not mean hand off, they were put here for us to use, but not abuse.
