"Fish and Game information indicates that roughly 74% of the deer harvested in the Kodiak Island Borough are harvested by people who do not live in the Kodiak Island Borough. That makes— there's about 8,000 blacktail harvested a year in the Kodiak Island— in the borough, or Unit 8, let's just call it Unit 8. So assuming that I've never once seen somebody put their antlers in the same box that they put their meat in, because that would be weird, uh, you're looking at a substantial potential revenue stream there. That's not touching fisheries at all."

Fish and Game information indicates that roughly 74% of the deer harvested in the Kodiak Island Borough are harvested by people who do not live in the Kodiak Island Borough. That makes— there's about 8,000 blacktail harvested a year in the Kodiak Island— in the borough, or Unit 8, let's just call it Unit 8. So assuming that I've never once seen somebody put their antlers in the same box that they put their meat in, because that would be weird, uh, you're looking at a substantial potential revenue stream there. That's not touching fisheries at all. My primary concern is we are very much a place where people take from the resource and there's not a tremendous amount of input back into it.
