[Al Jones]

There is a program where they want you to plant strips along the edge for 
quail.  They pay the land owner a little bit for it.

The problem with wildlife management & legislation in NC, and I expect in 
most other states, is that it is centered around the best interests of the 
wildlife and the best interests of the hunter.  All other citizens rights 
are secondary.
