With all of the discussion about the state looking for money I was wondering what other people's thoughts were on this subject.
If they are looking for revenue for the state through hunting resources. I don't see why they can't take each parcel of public hunting land and start putting them into a rotation to have hardwoods selectively harvested every so many years. Almost every piece of public ground I hunt is over grown with big trees and hardly any understory to the point that in the fall/winter you can see several hundred yards through. This would do two things. Create revenue for the state, and, improve quality of hunting for the people using it by allowing new growth and better browse. Maybe they are already doing this in some areas?
Thoughts?
