MJ,why did the pheasants disappear to begin with and how was the PGC responsible?I don't see how anyone can complain about the lack of money that's been put into the pheasant program.Habitat work is usually not self funding.It takes manhours and equiptment to do it the right way.That's something the PGC is lacking.It takes foresters to cut timber the right way.They don't even have enough foresters to manage the large tracts of game lands in the north central part of the state.Talk to some of them sometime.I talked to the head forester in Elk county this weekend.He told me they should be cutting more timber on the SGL's but they're short handed.I got a chance to see alot of what theydo.Contrary to what Crazy horse has been saying,they concentrated on improving wildlife habitat by managing certain areas for species like big toothed aspen over red oak.The exclosures are too thick to walk through and they have alot of grouse.That never would have neverhappened without a fence.Many of the pioneer species like fire cherry are growing well and provide food and cover for wildlife and no monetary benefit.You guys that claim this is all about money are just flat out wrong and you have no proof to back up your accusations.
