The money in question con sists of an 11 per cent federal excise tax on the sale of sport ing rifles, shotguns, and am mui^tion which is presently collected by the federal gov ernment and then distributed back to the states for wild life conservation projects. “With this money, we oper ate 23 wildlife management areas with 600,000 acres of public hunting land, employ 23 wildlife area managers, two equipment operators, three biological aides, and 15 wild life biologists,” Handy said. ‘‘Recently we committed $750,- 000 of this money to purchase Sapelo Island as a game pre serve.” “The wildlife biologists em ployed under this program are responsible for the manage ment of wildlife in all of Georgia’s 159 counties.
