Can someone in the know explain something to me. I have hunted just about every fwa in Indiana. How in the world can Glendale put the time, effort, and money into the area that they do and the rest might put 10% of the effort into theirs. To say I am impressed is an understatement. Millet, corn, beans, covercrops. Heck I even found several fields of sugar beets today. If you deer hunt and never checked it out I'd advise you to. Lots of huge deer tracks and rubs. But back to my original question. Why do they and the others don't?

Well than some managers need to be gone. Wilbur wright is a joke. Minnehaha is one step above. Dont get me started on atterbury. Those guys at glendale have to bust their rears all year long down there. They seem to actually manage it for all game animals. By the way. I know its the last day today but if anyone is interested in pheasants next year, I've seen plenty down there in the last two days. Don't think they kill many on the put and take.

It would appear that Glendale has an active and interested property manager. Too bad there isn't some sort of statewide overseer to help develop best use management practices for all the public hunting areas to follow.

So I guess my question would be that I'd assume Glendale spends a pile of money on doing what they do. What do all the other property managers do with the money? I don't know why this is bothering me so much. I feel like I need to call and a. complement Glendale's managers to a higher up and b. find out why the rest aren't I'd say doing there job.

Bluegrass and Sugar Ridge are a couple of good ones too. I haven't been to Sugar Ridge for a couple of springs, but the last time I was there they had a lot planted.

Send your comments to director of the dnr. And any place that seems reasonable. If the right person reads it they may try to improve.
My guess on minni is partly due to coal mine activity and the manager also manages goose pond and hillenbrand. No excuse but they spend a lot of time on the goose pond and do good for waterfowl and upland there. But they also restrict upland hunting to the point that most don't even try.

Deer Creek does, too. The Property Manager told me last year they only had three deer checked in ALL SEASON! I put in for their draw hunts this year and got denied on every weekend I applied for. Hopefully their reported harvest is better this year.

Too bad there isn't some sort of statewide overseer to help develop best use management practices for all the public hunting areas to follow. Also, surrounding farms growing crops, adds to it's success. I use to Squirrel hunt on a neighboring farm and always got my limit of 5-Squirrels.
