How many give back

[dbllunger]

Bone and 10guage are correct.  The pellets have corn and other additives.  If you want to buy feed about the cheapest is something called Pea Pellets.  They are a mixture and the deer love them and get total energy out of them.  You can buy them bulk, and just have them dumped into what ever tubs, apple bins, etc. you want to store them in.

pea pellets are awesome ...pretty cheap and deer will come into your barn to get em so dont leave any open bags laying around. . . couldnt find any local we go to a feed store in spokane to get em

I give back in the way of time and money.  Join a conservaiton group like Mule Deer Foundation, RMEF, Pheasants Forever, NWTF, etc...plant that habitat.  That is what is important.  Fund conservation easements to curtail development in wintering grounds.  Look at the Chelan Area, bitterbrush being dozed for houses.  We need to support conservation of habitat.  Through easements or land purchases. There are conservation districts in every county...get involved.  Go out this spring and plant some winter habitat for pheasants.  This is one way I help give back.  Call county commissioners and WDFW representatives and volunteer.  Master hunters use your 40 hours planting habitat.  Habitat still is the key to wildlife! 

Yelp, could you PM me with who to contact, I've called around a bit and gotten the run around.  I'd love to volunteer to help with habitat restoration, planting, etc.

We only have 2+ acres here but as I plant and landscape I keep the wildlife in mind and plant for them.  In 2 years we have now had deer show up, and I saw a nice covey of mountain quail.  So next spring I think I will designate some food plots for both.  I prefer to not feed the birds, but I do plant lots of seed bearing flowers and grasses and I leave them for winter feed.  My gardens look a bit messy that way but I love the variety of birds I am getting.

Runamuk you can contact any local chapter of the NWTF, where do you live and I can give you the name of the person to talk to in your chapter.  If there isnt a chapter local to you I can get you Daves number.
We love to do restoration work !  I just dont know what Dave has on the aggenda for this year, maybe you can get something going.  We always have monies for this kind of work.

Runamuk I will try and locate some contacts in that area..Porter Right westside of the Capital Forest, right.  Been there several times.  That is cool about the mountain quail...I used to see them up on Capital Peak as a kid.  I just wanted to reply.  I have some WDFW contacts and some Sportsmans groups that maybe looking for volunteers.  Later.

Yelp and NWTF yes I am in Porter right by the capital forest grays harbor county.  I'd love to do some field work especially in the summer when the kid is out of school
