The biggest problem, at least in Union Parish, is the loss of habitat. So much clear cutting is going on. As long as I'm hunting, I will never clear cut my property.
Yeah, I understand the habitat issue. We had some cutting in adjacent properties that destroyed some of the prime habitat for deer and turkey. It seems that this pushed animals on to our leases and property, so maybe that is why I am seeing more.
