Scraper, has your club ever looked into grant funding to develope grass cover on public land? I was thinking the other day that there must be funds available for reseeding some of the public hunting areas that have gone over to invasive species of grass. I hunt several CRP fields that were seeded to switch grass, rather than dense nesting cover, and the pheasants are drawn to it like a magnet. Switch grass won't go down in snow cover, and the birds eat the seed. It has to be better than some of these PLOTS that are the old Bromus mix.

Will do. Maybe a few clubs could go in on some joint projects. BCWF would buddy up on habitat projects I think. I'd be curious how the COVERLOCKS program is faring. Perhaps some of that dedicated money could be used upgrading state land that is already owned.
