[QUOTE="KDM, post: 116622, member: 314"] What folks need to consider here is that there IS NO silver bullet when it comes to habitat. One can choose any specie of animal and that animal will use different habitats at different times throughout the year for different purposes. Deer will use CRP when it suits their needs, then sloughs, then wooded habitats, then pasture lands, then riverbottom. etc etc etc. Without ALL of these habitats to utilize, deer will have a more difficult time surviving mother natures whims and rampages. CRP helps, but only for a time. Good Thermal Cover is what is needed to get critters through the winter, but good thermal cover isn't necessarily good forage cover or good fawning cover or good loafing cover. Pheasants use CRP quite a bit, but when winter comes, I find more pheasants in sloughs and trees than I do CRP. Critters need all types of habitats to optimize survivability. When one type of habitat is missing, all the critters suffer a bit. Carry on!!! [/QUOTE]
