[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 194238, member: 367"] In most cases It costs a lot of money to create and maintain habitat. Although wildlife appreciates habitat most humans seem to expect it to be handed over to them on a silver platter. Step # 1 is to figure out ways for landowners to recoup some of those costs and you will see more habitat. It was a hard decision when my CRP contract expired, It was well established, Weed free and set up on a 2 year haying rotation. Perfect habitat and Easy to manage but the catch was that it would cost me about $ 2500 per year VS renting it out as farmland. In the past I used to guide 1 or 2 whitetail hunts a year and recoup the cost and everybody was happy except for you guys because I was guiding your deer and I was haying CRP that's double dipping. Anyway, The state finally made it so risky to operate as a small scale outfitter that It just wasn't worth it any more. I still do a lot for wildlife conservation but I wish I'd went with another CRP contract. [/QUOTE]
