i don,t know what everybody else thinks but i think the buffer strips the state pays farmers to let grow for habitat is a joke i think they are doing more harm than good apparently there is no control over what they are supose to do or no one to check .almost every one here in southern in. are mowed so short or drove on so much a mouse coulde,nt hide there. it just gives the hawks and all the other predaters a 30 ft. space to ponce on quail and rabbits.there is a farmer thats got a 10 acre field in one of them 10 yr. programs for wildlife ,hell you could play golf on there he keeps it mowed so short. and we got to pay for this. give me a break and we wonder why there is no small game anymore

Thats not the way it's working up North the buffer strips up here are all tall with different grasses and are doing what they are supposed to do , hold pheasant. I haven't seen but maybe 2 or 3 that were mowed but they weren't very big strips anyway. I've been hunt these all year and believe that the northern pheasant population is on it's way back. The 1st weekend in Dec. was out hunting with a fellow from Lowell we flushed 16 hens and 2 roosters in about 3 miles of walking buffer strips. Sorry about your luck down south but up here it working good.
