Keep them sealed in a plastic container or bag with leaves, dirt and other ground debris from around your stand until you arrive at your hunting location. Doing so will allow your hunting clothing to take on the naturally occurring scents that permeate your hunting location. scoot manhttp://besthuntingcenter.com/best-trail-game-camera-reviews/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216959815935693359.post-13299919309320971402016-03-21T20:51:36.184-05:002016-03-21T20:51:36.184-05:00Next time take a pic standing next to the hog, not...Next time take a pic standing next to the hog, not 10 to 15 feet behind it!

That's its mandate..manage the habitat for the benefit of wildlife. I agree with you.. timber cutting ain't pretty in the short term but the benefits to wildlife are almost immediate.<br /><br />I take the long view..and remain focused on what the real threats are. And that is habitat loss, clear cutting, and commercial development. Less than 10% of our bottomland forest remain today. Take a fly-over of the refuge and you'll see many areas where the timber is clear cut right up to the refuge's border. So yes... I'm thankful for the refuge...because without it, the forest we now enjoy hunting and recreating in would have been plowed under with the rest a long time ago.<br /><br />The refuge has something for everyone. Did you know the refuge have seven large natural areas on the refuge where timber grows UNTOUCHED? Something you'll NEVER see in a for profit timber operation for sure. Check out the Brooks Island Natural Area (4,400 acres!) and Mink Bayou Natural area(3,300 acres).

I totally agree with you and would never stand for our federal government ever forcibly acquiring private land. I am a business owner, property owner, thus a strong supporter of property rights. <br /><br />I have closely followed, read and researched the refuge proposal that has been put forth. I can confidently tell you that the refuge has no intention and in fact legally cannot force anyone to sell land to them under this proposal. That is not the purpose of the "proposed acquisition boundary" the refuge put forth. <br /><br />Bottom line is that some landowners have approached the refuge seeking to sell land to the refuge. What the refuge has proposed is that IF, in the future, a nearby landowner chooses to sell land to the refuge ...it would have the ability to make a fair market value offer. The landowner DOES NOT have to accept the offer or agree to sell to the refuge if he does not want to. Now or ever! The landowner can just as well sell it to you or I if they so choose and if we can agree on a price. It’s as simple as that. The refuge CANNOT compel anyone to sell land to them under this program. <br /><br />By necessity the refuge proposal put forth has a very long time horizon. Within the proposal they talk in terms of 20 and 50 years time horizons. Why? Because they can only acquire land by waiting for WILLING sellers to come forward. That, my friend, takes time..a long time. <br /><br />This land will eventually sell ...whether it be to the refuge, another private timber corporation, the Nature Conservancy, or to Ted Turner as his own private hunting preserve. I would just as soon have my duck stamp dollars put to work conserving habitat in Arkansas if I can help it. <br /><br />But not to worry ...my guess is that nothing will happen anytime soon considering the current economic circus we have in congress. Additionally I think we can assume that even with the approval of the “expanded acquisition boundary” it will be decades before any significant land acquisitions are ever realized. <br /><br />JimArkansas Bowhunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759961480440706951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216959815935693359.post-75135347108794762102013-10-02T13:39:44.784-05:002013-10-02T13:39:44.784-05:00I belong to a hunting club that lies within the l...I belong to a hunting club that lies within the land the feds intend to buy. We lease the land and have for 50 years. We have 130 members and most members have permanent camps. The timber company that owns it have game biologists and very strict game management practices in place. No feeding, antler restrictions, a doe deer quota, etc etc.. Most of the members spend a lot of time and money each year to hunt. I just don't see how the federal government is going to improve the management strategy or increase revenue by purchasing this tract. I've hunted White River NWR for several years and you just don't see the deer numbers there that you see on our lease. Its bowhunt thru the regular season and only modern gun hunted and muzzleloaded for three days each after being drawn for a permit. Spend this money somewhere else. This is just another example of the government meddling in something it has no business messing with. Taking something from paying citizens and giving it to non paying citizens. Taking something that makes a positive impact on our local economy and screwing it up. 125,000 acres of WRNWR is enough!!!!David MartaRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216959815935693359.post-86535241975931583062013-05-13T09:39:05.175-05:002013-05-13T09:39:05.175-05:00I think this would be great, the more the better. ...I think this would be great, the more the better.
