The draws for the CA blinds were well in advance of the season so you knew if you had a guaranteed spot or not...In other words, bring your 12 year old as a standby hunter at your own risk...
Second, by doing my part, I am referring to my bringing the Mississippi Hunting & Fishing Digest to Mississippi for MDWFP...I published it for two years at NO COST to MDWFP, using advertising sales to cover my costs and turn a profit....My service on the board of the Mississippi Sierra Club, Mississippi Wildlife Federation and NRCS State Technical Committee....My involvement in saving the Big Sunflower River from the Corps of Engineers dredge boat...My service with Mississippi Sportsmen Against Hunger and the 200,000+ pounds of deer meat we collected from hunters and donated to charities in 42 Mississippi counties...One year I personally skinned 105 deer for the MSAH program...My service with Delta Waterfowl (dates to the late 1980s when they were called the North American Wildlife Foundation) which began at least a decade before most of yall ever heard of them...And finally my involvement in conservation easements on 18,000 acres of wildlife habitat in LA and MS...
Many of yall have opinions about all sorts of things but very few of you (not all but very few) have been on the frontlines of the conservation AND environmental movement like I have...As such, you think that ENVIROS are your enemy when in fact, they SHOULD be your best friends...IN fact, hunters have more incentive than anybody to be RADICAL environmentalists because without wildlife habitat there is no wildlife and at a rate of 5000 acres of development PER DAY, EVERY DAY in this country, there wont be much wildlife habitat left in another generation. Note that 5000 acres per day of development is with a population of 300MM people...Wait til the country has the 500MM people forecast for 2100 and see how much wildlife habitat there is...Instead you stick with your tried and true so called "Conservative" agenda and your spinners and your corn feeders...
And I havent even mentioned GLOBAL WARMING yet...Incidentally, did yall hear what good old GWB had to say on that subject today? Go to the GW thread for direct quotes from our President on this subject and get Po Monkey Lounge's inevitable rationalizations and permutations about why you should join him in calling BS on the whole subject no matter what anybody says about it or no matter how much evidence there is that he is just flat out wrong.

Where are all those people gonna live? How much land is it gonna take to the feed them? How much pollution will they spew? How many oil wells, gas wells, coal mines will it take to power them? Highways to transport them? Schools to educate them?
An asphalt parking lot is whitetail deer habitat if it has a cigarette butt in it but other species are not nearly as adaptable to mankind (including farming practices)...Ducks are a perfect example...What we call a great duck season would make our grandfather's disgusted.
