Does anyone have a clue why G&P goes around to all the state recreation areas and tears up the prime hunting areas so they look like a tornado came through?  They shove all the cedar trees and brush up into big piles, create a lot of bare ground (especially around the fence lines which were usually productive), and basically make it difficult to even walk the areas with all the plowing, and little stumps left by cutting everything off a couple inches above the ground.  Is this supposed to be improving habitat, or is there some other purpose?

There really isn't that much public land left to hunt anyway, and now most of it is ruined in my opinion.

I assume to press your buttons.  I know they will burn 'em when they get a chance, but one would think of a better way to accomplish it.

NE Bull:
A&H, Have you been walking around Medowlark? (which would be NRD land)  they tore that place up somewhat fierce. I'm not sure if they are thinking of putting camping grounds or what.  My kids and I can't even shake loose a rabbit or squirrel in there anymore. :(  There was a stroy in the Lincoln paper about it a while back, had something to do with removing invasive species trees, IIRC.

SemperFiGuy:
Looks like NG&P is culling out the cedar trees, which are steadily taking over whole areas from the deciduous trees.

And everything else.

'Bout the only thing the cedar trees are good for is to support huge flocks of robins in the spring until the bugs start popping out.   Can't hunt in the thick cedars; can't see any distance.

Robins looooooooooooove those little blue-green berries.    Or--at least--eat them for sustenance until something more appetizing comes along.   Like....Big Fat Nightcrawler.

If those trees were juniper trees, then we could make gin from the berries.

Haven't been to Meadowlark, but I've seen this phenomenon at Branched Oak, Pawnee, Wagontrain, and other areas.  I can see culling out some of the cedar trees, although I occassionally flush a covey of quail from under one.  The rest of the stuff they are doing is beyond my comprehension (maybe that doesn't take much :().
