[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 288875, member: 412"] That's a horse-shit false flag. All those NR's who were coming to SW ND to "Save our Towns" during the CRP/high-pheasant population years are nowhere be found in SW ND now. The severe drouth summer of '14, '15 or '16 whenever it was saw to that. Those same folks are still coming, they're now doing pheasant/duck, Duck/walleye/perch or pheasant/walleye/perch combo trips in the middle 1/3 of the state. If the sloughs dry up and the bird/fish numbers drop, those NR's will again be gone. There isn't anyone coming to "Save our Towns" without some sort of fish or game to pursue. If you own a restaurant or hotel and have put all your eggs into the "hunting/fishing" basket, you'd better have put some $$ into habitat or access to it and not just new towels, sheets, and silverware. Long-term, a small town restaurant is far more likely to stay in business if they can get into the business of providing meals for Medicare/Medicaide recipients. An avid resident hunter will spend exponentially more on food and fuel than will a 10-14 day bird or archery hunter. But the resident hunter is much more likely to keep going, and going, and going even when game numbers are low than is a "fair-weather" NR. "Save our Towns/restaurant/bar/business" is a trainload of complete Bullshit. [/QUOTE]
