[QUOTE="Tymurrey, post: 432900, member: 859"] Appreciate your thoughts on this. I think one thing that might start to save some hunting is people are actually farming for wildlife now. They are buying land just to hunt on. Even though this land is then posted up tight it's still the owner and any of his friends or family that he lets hunt that isn't competing on other land. Plus the increase in wildlife productive land he creates benefits the surrounding land. Then again i'm taking 25 acres of cropland out of production and putting in large scale tree planting and native tall grasses and my brother is taking 20 acres out of native prairie and putting it into cropland right next to mine. I tried to tell him that it's his to do with what he wants but he has a son that likes to hunt and at some point you can't always rely on others to let you hunt on theirs. Although the pasture didn't provide much for wildlife, but nesting and brood rearing is important too. I just don't think he and many others can envision the future where they have nowhere to hunt when everything gets locked down and at that point they and their family will quit hunting or it will be to late to build up the habitat needed.
