Default RE: MY SWAMP IS GONE!!!!

Its like this the owners I spoke with yesterday about it said they didn't know about it and didn't really mind it. We tried to keep them thinned down some what, about 2 a year. just to maintain the water level. I wasn't the only one who enjoyed the wildlife here!! From what I gathered it was a soggy bottom and was pretty useless before. I understand the damage the big tooth varmit could do but, I also saw the benefits gained by the varmits. EX> when the drought hit here this year the water was plentiful for all animals. Yea they chew up and spit out a little money tree here and there but was it worth destroying the rest of the animals depending on that water!! The 2 other farmers here didn't mind them and its their land also up to water line. Most of it was MINE! It may be childish the way I feel but it was my land that most of the water covered. I feel like its the same punks thats been shooting the deer here and leave them lay.
