I'd wager every state says they follow the NAM, regardless of how they approach certain issues. But add in better farm economics as well. Crops and livestock often times don't pay well enough to make a consistent or comfortable living. That's when wildlife becomes more attractive as an...- Ben Lamb

I'd wager it's both. Honestly, I'd not hunt pheasant if it cost me $200 each time. Leases, clubs, preserves etc tend to take longstanding opportunity away from working class hunters. SD is showing that pretty well. Pheasant hunting used to be pretty egalatarian. It was open for everyone to...- Ben Lamb
