  And some federal money not spent can be set aside until the state "matching funds requirement can be met," said Thomas Decker, director of operations for Fish and Wildlife.

  "With the threat of serious disease pathogens such as chronic wasting disease and bovine tuberculosis repeatedly appearing in captive herds of deer and elk in other states as near as New York, it becomes increasingly important that we take action now," said Thomas Decker, Fish and Wildlife's chief of operations."Several thousand wild deer and elk have been killed in the Midwest and Western states in an attempt to prevent further spread of CWD when they were exposed to the disease by escaped captive deer or elk.
  
  "The potential ecological, social and economic losses posed by serious wildlife diseases that could infect Vermont's native wildlife need to be taken seriously," Decker said.

  and wetlands in the state, according to Tom Decker, director of operations at Vermont Fish & Wildlife.
  
  In 2006, the last year the department has complete records, 12,682 deer yielded about 634,100 pounds of boneless venison.
  
  The 317 bear that were killed provided 23,775 pounds of meat, and more than a quarter-ton of boneless moose meat fed families from animals that lived their lives among the mountains of Vermont.
  
  "That's a lot of meat that is local, organic, regulated and sustainable," Decker said."When you look at those numbers, it is pretty impressive."
  
  People hunt for a variety of reasons, Decker went on to say.
  ...
  The Fish & Wildlife Department is stepping up its youth hunting education program, and while urbanization in the state continues to cut down on the number of acres that are open to hunting, Decker said that the stocks of game are as healthy today as they have been in a long time.
  
  "This is still a part of what people do here in Vermont," Decker said.

  The necropsy is paid for by Fish and Wildlife and is part of their budget for monitoring wildlife, said Thomas Decker, chief of operations for Fish and Wildlife.
  
  Decker said that every year Fish and Wildlife sends out 400 deer to be tested for chronic wasting disease and several thousand birds to be tested for avian influenza.
  
  Decker said the overall necropsy cost for the moose would depend upon the number of tests that would have to be administered to discover the cause of its illness.

  ...
  (Decker) We're going to work within whatever means we can.We're going to try to stay efficient and effective within our programs.We have to make tough decisions on what personnel we can get and hire.
  
  (Dillon) Decker confirmed that the state abolished a hunter education position and is holding vacant the three game warden jobs.
  ...
  (Decker) We intermittently get a chance to try to do that with some our existing staff but we haven't done a comprehensive re-evaluation of them, and it's really wanting because some of our maps are just tremendously outdated on whether a yard is still there or if its been impacted.
