But I think it’s bit naive, or perhaps just lazy and cynical, to just point fingers at the GF and assign blame.Since that time period, we’ve lost 3 million acres of CRP, a huge number of wetland acres, miles of tree rows, and many acres of native pasture.  All that with 4 epic winters mixed in, 3 of which came back to back to back at the same we were losing CRP. Plus maybe the largest EHD outbreak ND has ever had. Not to mention that when they were giving out 100k tags they were under a tremendous amount of pressure from landowners about too many deer.No matter what, they can’t win. When deer numbers were great, no one thought to appreciate them, yet somehow when they’re down, they get all the blame. Given the variables I mentioned above, it’s just illogical for that to be the case.[ATTACH=full]71895[/ATTACH]As far as zebra mussels, as far as I know, they’re pretty sure they came in through a dock that was transported from MN. They don’t have the regulatory authority to require dock inspections. So what are they supposed to do? If they require those to be inspected without that authority, people cry government overreach. If they operate within their jurisdictional authority and don’t inspect them, then somehow it’s their fault.No matter what, there’s a subset of folks who just want to point fingers at the GF without any consideration as to context or variables. Generally, it’s the same subset of guys.</blockquote>
