If this wasnt so sad, it would be almost comical.

Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
It's so much easier to grow catfish than to make an ecologically diverse lake and river system. It's how I make my living, bo.
Those commercial guys are threatening my living, bo...
So, lets just ruin theirs.

I sincerely hope this passes.
Then in ten years, I can tell my kids about the big mudhole full of grass carp and catfish from Camden to the Delta, and how it used to be something special, and how the elected pimps and prostitutes ruined it.

South Carolina:
Smiling faces, and prostituted resources to yankees since I can remember.

The fuggin grass carp....aaaarrrrrrggggghhhh....Damn I hate them lakes already....Now we wont be able to swim for 150lb catfish suckin down babies. Unchecked, these big things are gonna be ugly on the pan fish populous. Maybe it'll help in other ways though. Once they rid the system of other food fish for large cats they will start pulling comorrants off the surface.
You can grow up to be just like me....
i wrote the biologist off as a dumbass at the meeting i attended when i asked him to explain the relationship between the introduction of grass carp and pesticides to kill the hydrilla and the beginning of weaker reproduction of catfish (according to their "studies")....
even though his fancy graph showed that the "decline" started in the late 90s (same time as grass carp and pesticides), he stated that "it may have effected the other types of fish but he didnt think it effected the catfish"
HOW IN THE FUCK IS THAT POSSIBLE?

I'm wagering that there is going to be a proposed limit on coyotes and pigs here soon.
Man and other animals were first vegetarians; then Noah and his sons were given permission to eat meat: “every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you” Genesis 9:3

Yep.
Next, we will have the cormorant become a game bird. It's here already, and if we can find the proper marketing scheme, we can attract some Johnny Ohio's down here to shoot them. I'll bet we can get 5 or 6 folks who can become guides, and make a living off them.

Don't feel too bad, SC isn't by itself as a state that had a terrible management of natural resources...trust me.

South Carolina's problem is that the put the fox in the henhouse, or, more accurately, put the fox in charge of feeding the chickens.
