    History repeats itself. Who remembers what happened when Santee NWR Manager, Glen Bond, decided on this same idiotic course in 1978?

    I know him. He is a good guy but I don't think he cares for hunting. What does he do with managing for ducks? If it's the same guy I know, he is an "environmentalist".

    Will Dillman is definitely an “environmentalist.”

    Did he REALLY get Derrell’s job????
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    He’s a good dude. Definitely not a hunter and probably knows little about ducks. I think he’s intelligent enough to rely on other resources when necessary, however. He appears to have hit the ground running and I hope and think he will do good in his new position.

    No, Who's on first..........





    Derrell Shipes was the Chief of Wildlife (avid duck hunter too). He retired. Billy Dukes is now Chief of Wildlife. I just saw that Will Dillman took the "Assistant Chief of Wildlife" job that Billy vacated.

    Thanks for clearing that up Cajun. I just hope will understands the importance of hunting in our culture. He is plenty smart. I've just always taken him as a kind of left wing environmentalist type.

I swear people know this but when february rolls around and their fat asses dont like the idea of hours upon hours of tractor work, they start thinking of lazy ass ways to do something different they read about.

    If I managed BR, I would plant corn everywhere. The "wet spots that wouldnt dry out" is code for "I didnt feel like unhooking the planter and putting the disc back on."

    That’s where tile and a plug come in handy.

    It is amazing watching the tile crews all over the midwest every October on our way north. You rarely see one here...

    Guy across the way from here has a plow, he puts in a fair bit I think for himself. A shitload of old terra cotta tile in the ground around here that still works but it’s definitely on the downhill side. There is a plow on the lot in Orangeburg at the Case place. Wish I had a half mil laying around I would buy it, a quadtrack and a backhoe and go to work and give the NRCS the finger the whole way.
