If the dnr planted instead of burning we would have our pheasants back >
@bad pontiac-I think you are correct. I remember when we used to hunt the ditches and would come home with our limit in four hours. Now, they hunt all day and think it is a good day if they get one bird.
What was the enforcement action taken for the 160 acres of private land the DNR acidently burned??
If its done by government, its just a accident I guess. Private people need to be fined and their property taken away.
