No one puts a Band-Aid on an open wound, but it appears thats what state government is doing to your fish and wildlife management team.
And you, the Hoosier sportsman, are getting ripped off.
Consider this - there are 50 vacancies in the Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife, many of which that have been there for a while.
Fifty. That includes district fish and wildlife biologists, hatchery managers and public hunting property employees that sportsmen finance with their license fees so the DNR can nurture Hoosier resources.

St. Joseph River fish managers will be watching closely to see if three years of experimental coho stocking pays off this fall.
This the third season of migrating coho and it should be telling one. While the previous two falls produced disappointing returns, much of that was due to lower stocking numbers.
That shouldnt be the case this fall since remaining three year olds from a 60,000 fish stocking will be joining two year-olds from a 90,000-fish plant in the river.
The coho stocking will be evaluated this year and next. If the fish dont provide a better return, some changes likely will be made in the coming years.
