Doug I dare say (without boasting) I personally have have placed nearly $10,000 out of my OWN pocket plus the use of my own equipment into habitat improvement on public lands...lands open to hunting...yes even to hunters whom wish to kill doe... in just 2009 alone.
On my own personal property (closed to the public) I spend on average of $175,000 to seed, fertilize,and plant crops each and every year...one could argue that I'm planting for my own gains..yes I do but let us not forget the amount of all animal species that eat as a result of my investment.
And let us not forget the habitat work I have done thru good farming practices for the past 60 years.......
Yup I'm a whiner whom doesn't give anything back alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
