   Now isnt this amazing… Pay a innocent individual 14 to 26.00 to to provide and maintain and adequate supply of wildlife and fish with in the State of New Mexico, What a joke !!! What is this individual going to do about the Deer situation in NM. that is extreamly low before this individual is even hired ? I guess for the 26.00 dollar an hour this individual must buy mule deer, elk, coues deer and keep there numbers up since the Wolf only eat the sick and week as they say, or would like to think.
   I cant belive this, and this individual must have a big college degree to boot, Sounds like the NM fish and game is all ready getting a scape goat for the failing wolf program, I bet they would want this guy to give the wolves rabbies shots, and artifically inciminate them to.
   (Methods of out reach) LOL (Conduct extensive outreach activities directed toward landowners) LOL (develop original concepts and solutions to support successful reintroduction of Mexican wolves in New Mexico) this is amazing… what a joke.

   Im a private business owner, have been since 1989, I was working for $24.00 an hour then. I wouldn’t even get up in the morning for $26.00 an hour. That is what is so funny about America, for example my business is Plumbing, Heating, and Small Hydro power units if you have the gravity flow to produce the power. This is my point, I do $250,000 plumbing jobs, I get a state inspector at $14.00 an hour coming onto the project picking apart my jobs, before approval. This inspector is almost always a failed plumber and business man. So FWS is looking for bright people to come out and work for poverty wages, be constantly in fear of losing the position the first time they say something which is incorrect, like the truth for example. LMAO. 14-26 hourly to be a puppet, to lie to those more intelligent than your self, who would not even be bothered with this petty little job ” opportunity”. Thats funny.

   Well now, those of us who lost businesses to Wal-Mart might like to work for that wage, it’s higher than in some places, lotsof places where foreign workers have taken jobs, and if we don’t have that college degree, didn’t need it with the business we lost, it might be a good job to be a scape goat to at least pay the rent and fuel bills, which we can barely pay at that wage, but better than at federal minimum! I’d do that job to support my kids, and be proud to have it, if I can get a bachelor’s degree, find the time to study and money to pay for college to get it, plus a babysitter I can trust. As a single mom who’s ex is a deadbeat, I’d rather work with wildlife, attempting to do a good job of restoration of balance, than to be a waitress, with no benefits, for some people who expect service and leave tiny tips to a woman who’s paid two or three dollars per hour and is running her feet off for customers who may or may not own their own business, but probably do because those who work for minimum can’t even afford to eat out.
   I believe I’d earn the respect of all you who do battle against restoration of balance, by using good sense and providing practical methods to get out of control entities checked, and natural biology with predators and prey, into some sane solution that humans can adjust themselves to. Hunters and the hunted, ranchers and non-ranchers really want the same thing, that the forests be abundant and safe, that cattle can graze safely and business be done. There are ways to accomplish what needs to be accomplished, with intelligent people making smart moves to retain the best of the west, and fair wages paid to all.
   When I get into a position to make decision about wildlife, I will do so in an educated manner, with a thoroughly thought out plan, an educated and unbiased team of helpers, and appropriate action towards workable goals. And I expect that anyone qualified to take the job and humble enough to accept the pay will contribute their best effort towards the goal of all of us, and to do so with respect from all of the community, business owners or not, will make it easier and rewarding for the community.
   If the entire community doesn’t support a person in such a position, how can we expect animals to have a chance to keep living in our over humanized world?
   It’s going to take a team, so at least get into the team spirit liek you would for football, to make wildlife of all sorts have a better life, and be on the positive side of protecting the balance that we need to keep our wildlife and our humans safe and healthy.
   Let’s focus on solutions rather than blame. One of the two will work, and it’s not blame.
   Thanks,
   CR

   Carla, I know just what you mean. Being a former waitress and single mom I am a good tipper even when I am broke.

   I can do this job too but for some idiotic reason most people who can don’t qualify for it, they must have someone who has been brainwashed with a wildlife biology degree and this is an entry position.

   “When I get into a position to make decision about wildlife, I will do so in an educated manner, with a thoroughly thought out plan, an educated and unbiased team of helpers, and appropriate action towards workable goals.

   Would that we had more of that attitude in this program now. We would not be in the position we are in.
