Hunting
& Game Management

Partners today; much of game management is paid for by the taxes on hunting equipment, license, tags... Like most partnerships it has ups and downs.

The public land and resources are controlled by a wide variety of interest groups. The hunters who often provide most of the money are only one of them.

The good news is that hunters can often benefit in one way or the other.

Some non-hunters know and appreciate that hunters are largely responsible for helping to keep our wildlife populations healthy. We certainly need anything positive with the public we get.

Sometimes we can hunt on the public land.

Sometimes the deer (or other game) do not stay on the public land, and they eventually spread out to private land.

The way private resources are handled can vary greatly. There is a very troubling trend today to feed wildlife. Some "hunters" are even luring the deer with food rather than hunting deer. See: Feeders

Where deer hunting is sold to hunters there is sometimes far too much manipulation. See: The Hunting Ranch

One of the biggest problems we face today is trying to keep our wild game, wild. The more we manipulation the land and the animals on it, the
less natural it becomes. See: Food Plots

We do what we can, but with every compromise we move a little more away from what is natural, or wild.

In many parts of our country very few places are wild anymore.
