  2. You've got to know who you want to become.
  3. Management means being in control, actively shaping and making a significant difference in a desired structure of and direction in a system.
  4. You manage the resource, not just the animals.
  5. Resources have 4 interactive dimensions: energy or matter, time, space and variety.
  6. "You manage the resource" means to consistently produce perceived benefits to people at reasonable or acceptable costs.
  7. You have to simultaneously work among and balance populations, faunal space, and people (their behavior as well as their expectations and perceived gains).
  8. Protection and preservation are one aspect of management, a system constraint.
  9. The resource benefits come from the wild faunal resource enterprise, the whole thing.
  10. There are no principles, except this one.
