And I'd be like, if you could wave a magic wand, I've asked so many farmers and ranchers, if you could wave a magic wand and they would really be all gone, would you wave it?

And they're always like, I mean, I don't want them all gone.

Again and again.

I don't want them all gone.

I mean, that's ridiculous.

Yeah, but you know,

The thing that hunters don't... If you're going to look at it from a conservation habitat perspective, non-native plants are probably... I think that you'd probably get buy-in on that statement.

You'd probably get buy-in on that statement from most people that non-native plants are a greater risk to hunting in America than non-native wildlife.

It's a little bit...

There are cases where one could argue that because in the Mississippi system, the Asiatic carp species have to be having an impact on game fish.

There's no way they're not having an impact on game fish.

So that's a huge thing in that area.

Zebra mussels in the Great Lakes is a big problem, but non-native habitat that is becoming that it doesn't support wildlife.

because it's got plants that wildlife can't utilize.

Like that's a problem.

Whole fucking hillside.

I mean, whole mountain sides taken over by plants called like spotted napweed, leafy spurge.

Whole mountain sides used to support animals or hillsides used to support animals.

Now don't.

I did not realize that.
