I think this site is great and I appreciate the help and advice that some of the members have given, so again, I apologize to any of you guys that thought I was pushing anything NE.- - - Updated - - -Davey- The areas of the state that I know a fair amount about, there is some, but I do not see a lot of absentee ownership, and the ground I do know of is like Kurtr said, the renters usually control the hunting rights.Also, I may be wrong on this (since we cannot hunt road ditches I don't pay much attention) our landowners are not supposed to entirely mow or hay the road ditches.  On county roads landowner are supposed to mow a "swath" next to the road for snow and probably visibility (easier to see a deer next to the road if it is mowed).  In drought years they can get permission to hay the entire road ditch.  We can trap road ditches though with adjoining landowner permission.</blockquote>

Verification: What is the most common fish caught on this site?
