RE: How should Wildlife Management be funded?
There are areas in both 2g and 2F that are mainly northern hardwods and other areas are more predominantly oak/hickory.I couldn't tell you which has more than the other.Where I live,it's mainly oak hickory.However,there's an area called the Owl's nest in 2F that's predominantly northern hardwoods.It's pretty cool to see because there's almost a very defined line where it changes from northern hardwoods to oak/hickory forests.

Maybe the PGC should start selling cookies. How long do they think hunters are going to foot the bill for all wildlife and get screwed when their opinion means nothing? The question should of been, How can the PGC better the relationship with their handlers that feed them. Not how can we get more money and continue to screw you all. Make sure you have peanutbutter cookies,That is the only way the PGC is going to get any more money from me.

I cant even believe the gall of those idiots to even ask for money considering the state of affairs. If I didnt know how "obtuse" the extremists are in that agency now, Id have thought they were joking. To even DREAM of asking without any reparative measures is absolutely rediculous. Sadly, due to to the corruption and greed of politics, the possibility exists that they will get what they are asking for and be enable to screw us for the next decade.

A hint of why that is could be found on a public land map of each unit.

here is a quote from bret Wallingford regarding herd health and forest health, which may help RSB, BTB and Livbucks understand my point about 2F and 2G.
"First, all habitat quantity and quality, not just "forest habitat health" will affect deer health. Deer health depends on habitat because deer get their nutrition from the habitat in which they live. However, we only consider "forest habitat health" in making management recommendations.
Other habitat types can provide nutrition to deer, but are not a part of our "forest habitat health measure".
For example, in agricultural landscapes, deer can impact forest health, but forests are not the only type of
In agricultural areas, deer can impact forests significantly, yet still be healthy because of the high nutrition plane in the ag land.
Compared to forested lands, agricultural lands tend to have better soils with increased nutrient levels that grow plants that are more accessable to deer.
Second, the measurement of forest habitat health does not dictate what deer health will be.

Are you saying like because there is more public land in 2G and that they issue more tags in WMUs that are not for public hunting to get the private land owners to kill off the deer on their properrty ? Like in the south west and south east. Alot of private property there and tons of tags given out.
