Hmmm... I think I worded that poorly. Maybe "they didn't get to hunt themselves as a part of their jobs" is a better way of putting it. Make no mistake - there are plenty of hunters working in game departments that certainly see being able to hunt on the clock as a very nice perk.

It does, however, take them away from their real duties, those duties for which we would like to think we employ them. You know, like managing habitat, herds, etc. Every day they spend distracted doing what paying hunters could be doing is a waste of their time and public resources.
