[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 628473, member: 4362"] I deal a lot with the government when it comes to land and such. What I see is a lot of the money that is supposedly collected for the betterment of the habitat is actually being reallocated to other things which, in my opinion, are not conservation oriented but preservation oriented. I won't go into details but if the taxpayer knew about some of these programs I think they would scream bloody murder. This is the problem when you mix politics with wildlife management. Wildlife mgt. is a science, politics is merely a whim. I studied wildlife mgt. and several years ago we had way too many does but you could not harvest but two a year and then only on certain days. This was stupid. Therefore I simplified the law for our land. I created "Doe Day" and "Be Proud its a Doe Day". On Doe Day it was advisable to keep your tailgate up. On Be Proud Its a Doe Day you could leave your tailgate down. Biologically the practice was sound. Legally it was wrong, but the deer population benefitted from this practice and we got the county record to prove it. [/QUOTE]
