[QUOTE="zoops, post: 437219, member: 790"] Had time to go back and watch a decent share of the video. Couple things that raised my eyebrows a bit were when Kevin Kading was talking around the 54' mark and threw out a number of $150M/year to support 3 million acres of habitat. Would be an interesting topic for the legislature to throw more money at conservation, but probably a hard sell in our conservative ag-dominated state. The landowner's comments were interesting. Sounded like he lets people hunt and has quite a bit of land in plots, but also mentioned not letting people hunt if they pull in to his yard dressed up in camo with a truck full of gear, saying that he'd like people to stop by before the season. The comments from Rep. Anderson (about 1:48:00) I thought were kind of weak when he was asked about potential ways to help habitat issues saying "it's tough to find money for habitat" but that we have marginal farmland that could be planted to sorghum or hemp and that we have farmsteads that provide habitat - not sure what he was getting at with the farmstead comment. Was pleased to hear Rep. Porter say that it's probably time to tweak NR waterfowl numbers and it was a little annoying to hear him say they've found solutions over the years. IMO they haven't, they've just made it a free for all for NR. Obviously no real solutions were presented but hopefully the conversations continue. [/QUOTE]
