...raise some extra income, he can always lease out his Capitol Hill office as a wildlife museum. A former trapper and riverboat captain, he works surrounded by his trophies: the heads of a ram and a wild boar, mounted moose horns and the prime exhibit, a towering Kodiak bear that he bagged on a hunting trip back home. You could say he was a man with a hands-on appreciation of nature. Or you could say he's a guy who prefers his wildlife dead...

Many see the march as a power grab, noting that until...
