    Typically 1800’s land surveys.

    Most USFWS Waterfowl Production Areas were purchased with duck stamp dollars. Goal is usually waterfowl habitat with an emphasis on nesting. Goes against what a lot of minnesotans want for deer hunting, but deer isn’t the goal.

    I bow hunt some wpas. They can hold piles of deer…

    Deer aren’t the goal for WPA’s. Same for pheasants, but they all benefit from the habitat.

    These aren’t WPA’s. One is a MN River Valley WMA that was purchased by funds from the airport. The other is a private farm in the driftless area.

    Wma is dnr. Not sure why you would be talking to fws about dnr land. Private land likely had a habitat easement on it if fws was involved.

    Because it’s a WMA that Is part of the MN River Valley National Wildlife Refuge all of which is managed by USFWS. And the private land was part of a USFWS Partners program. Not sure why you would comment so confidently when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    Im not sure who said it earlier about wasting money cutting down tree lines. By my dads farm a few years ago spent whole summer with backhoes and dozers removing about 30 feet of the north side of his woods. Cant even imagine what he spent but since it was done jackshit grows there. Them extra 10ish rows of corn get about waist high cause there isnt enough sun.
