Mallards_Only, you are incorrect sir. The reserve was purchased with public money, yes, and it was for public use and research and classroom activities for the University, etc. With all the interest and being close to a fairly large city, they couldn't make it a type C WA where anyone can go hunting for whatever was open, anytime. Talk about pissing off the flower pickers and mountain bikers. They have a good hunting system where you put in for a lottery drawing and if chosen, can go hunt and they close off access during the hunt to other forms of recreation, from what I have heard from the staff there, it works great. CDA didn't "wrestle away" any management of the unit or the hunt program. CDA doesn't not manage the property in any way. You say that "CDA stole the hunting away from DFW and make money for their own selfish purpose", whatever. I told you in the last thread that the BCCER does give CDA a few hunts that are available at the auctions, but the vast majority of the hunts are for lottery that anyone can apply for. CDA is a great organization, I have been involved for a long time and have seen a lot benefits, a ton actually. Hunters need to get involved in a conservation organization, whether it is RMEF, CWA, Pheasants Forever, CDA, whatever your passionate about. Many great things are happening out there; hunter education classes, youth hunts, habitat projects, new hunter seminars, etc. We will continue to lose ground if we don't stand together and get things done.
