That's our governor for ya! A couple years ago he missappropriated funds from the habitat stamps for other purposes (budget) so come dove season no sunflowers had been planted on the public lands around me. This money was supposed to go to habitat improvements instead it goes to his general budget. What a piece of work that guy is!
Yep, they stopped planting sunflowers on the public land near me a few years ago. Used to be a good dove hunting area.

One other thing that has always griped me, don't know how it is in other states but in order to hunt spring turkeys you have to draw for a turkey permit per season or week. For instance you have to apply for a specific week for the first permit......$15 resident. That permit is only good for that time period which is anywhere from 5-7 days long depending upon which time period you draw. To hunt other weeks you must pay, apply for and draw another week and another permit...more money.[:-]
