No problem. I'm just trying to figure it out. I'm a hunter, you're a hunter. To me, that's a brotherhood.
But, on the CRP I think the layout per year is $16-18 Billion dollars nationwide. That's some serious cash. I'd like to get something out of it. Now I know it will preserve habitat and therefore encourage game animals to flourish, but what's the point if I don't have any access to it?
I know it's frustrating, I am only 34 and I remember in my teen's it was easy to hunt different farms, just go knock on the door.
But it seems like all these farms that had been in the family for decades are being sold off, or too old to fix up so the farmers auction off the land, and mostly land developers buy it up and create 5 acre lot sub-divisions out of hundreds of acres.
Close to my home (Champaign, Illinois) I am stuck with hunting a few hedge rows close to some U of I land, or public places (clinton lake) if I have a few days I have some privatearound Martinsville and Robinson IL that I hunt.
Where are you from?
