[QUOTE="Trip McNeely, post: 429800, member: 728"] it’s hard to bitch about getting more access to land in ND but you aren’t wrong here. I sometimes wonder how many animals are actually harvested on some of these plots tracts like you described. If it’s a few animals per year at best or it hardly gets hunted it’s a pretty hefty cost per animal/hunt. I do feel the GNF does a good job with plots in regards to what they have to work with. Most people arent enrolling the quarter that pumps out 190” deer yearly or always has the X feed for waterfowl. That being said it would be nice to see them focus on more “strategic” parcels. Pay more for high end stuff ot go after fields that are in traditional flight paths. I’ve had some banger hunts on a couple plots parcels by getting in the flight path on high wind days when I couldn’t get permission on an X. The big waters in ND have some pretty traditional flight paths year after year and some large traditional areas of hard to access feed fields. Get fields between and create opportunities. At least they’d get used more often than some of the plots i see now. [/QUOTE]
