[QUOTE="Riggen&Jiggen, post: 201673, member: 564"] managing a land for the purpose of bringing the habitat back to pre-settlement is good in some cases but bad in others. For example the feds adopted this management style to North Dakota's federal refuges decades ago. Through prescribed burns they wanted to eradicate all trees, shrubs and brush from the refuges and leave only grasses. The feds have done this to Lost Wood Refuge which is located in NW ND. They successfully eradicated at least 50% of the trees, shrubs and brush. As a result they were also successful in reducing non-migrating wildlife populations drastically including deer and grouse. It is a shame what they have done to that place. Remember people open grass prairie can not sustain many wintering animals. In ND you need trees, shrubs and bushes for animals to survive winters. You have to use some common sense and use land management practices that enhance wildlife habitat and their ability to survive. [/QUOTE]
