Good ole days of Wa. pheasant hunting

The current program with the reservation system is making friends with more farmers, and apparently the folks using it have been very respectful of the private property they are allowed to hunt and Fish and Wildlife is spending resources on helping establish permanent cover on some of the available properties around St John.  As best as I can tell IT ISN'T ALL BAD!, but based on the time we lost in the last 20 years, it could have been so much better.

Following up, the reservation system and several of the lands available for reservation around St John are great pieces of property, fish and wildlife are working with the farmers to establish habitat and even plant summer birds to help supplement population, there are great things happening around St John... figuring out the worth while properties is the hard part.

If people would stop shopping at places like Wal-Mart, Target, Cabela's and wanting cookie cutter sub-division homes the habitat would remain.  Don't rely on orgs like PF to save the world....not going to work when folks put priority on cheap goods and big homes at low prices.  Nature of the beast!
