All these polls on what you think about deer related hunting issues might be for naught. It might seem great to flex and vote your views, but what happens when the rubber hits the road? Who is going to enforce the laws. I mentioned it previously in a post that our DNR game wardens are spread...
There was a local Christmas tree farm that the tree acres of the parcel was around 2-3 is my guess. He had major deer issues. Point I'm trying to make is that there are many alt ag uses out there that don't require much of a footprint. But I'm not naive enough to think this isn't getting abused.
Funny you should mention that as I was thinking earlier tonight that nobody has brought up the option of increasing funding for the DNR to increase the number of officers in the field. They are spread thin to enforce the current laws, let alone adding all kinds of new regs. But for most...

The individual farmer's only control over grain prices is when he chooses to sell into the market. Not saying they shouldn't be held accountable in some fashion.
One DNR employee I know calls field tile the "hypodermic injecting poison into our rivers" and probably isn't far off with that...
All drones, IMO. I've heard of a person that scouts land he doesn't have permission to be on with drones, then sees how/where he can get permission if he locates a trophy. Reminds me of those that spotlight trying to locate trophies first, then gain permission second. Might be legal or on the...
If it had all been contiguous, we lost a strip of CRP that would have been 8 miles wide along I80 from the Mississippi River to the Missouri River when contracts expired. Think about that a second. All the wildlife, not just deer, plus water quality.
