[QUOTE="HatchieLuvr, post: 5038988, member: 19306"] I've said well before the recent terrible situation at Reelfoot, that "if it were a perfect world" then the state/feds would close (as in sell!) ALL west TN refuges except Reelfoot! I could care less what happens at Reelfoot (with regards to hunting) but I know for certain the classic days of west TN duck hunting are GONE and have been for decades! Most waterfowl that do make it down here spend their days refuge hopping. The local clubs, landowners and "wade in" duck hunters sit and watch most of the big groups of birds just fly around from refuge to refuge all day. I don't particularly think refuges are doing the job the original plans called for anymore, there are simply to many of them now. If the ENTIRETY of Reelfoot proper was made a no-hunting refuge then that might appease the "refuge-ites" and the rest of the land would be left "up to the market" to dictate what it's use would be. Show me ANYTHING the govt manages that is successful??? The govt doesn't give 2 steamin schitts about hunters, they want to buy up/confiscate every acre of land they can and in fact BUILD refuges. It's all about control for them and they don't want ANY of us to own any prime land. Reelfoot is a classic example of what happens when the govt gets involved with private matters. They are like a robber who breaks into your house only to then claim it's THEIR house and YOU must adhere to their laws and accommodate THEM!!! And as far as "public hunting" show me where in The Constitution it states that it's the govt.s responsibility to provide ANYONE with a place to hunt??? (Now where did I put that Nomex suit? 😁) [/QUOTE]
