another great outfit is the ruff grouse society.I have been a mmber for a lot of years and our problems still go back to habitat management.If you are interested in upland game and ga. it is a great outfit.
Sam,
Are you on the board? I'll join if you will get me an upland hat.

I think it would be a great idea to have a federal upland bird stamp. I think it should be mandatory to hunt upland game just like it is required to hunt waterfowl. I also think every state should have a upland bird stamp to hunt birds an all the funds from the stamp should be used exclusively to benefit upland birds.
I don't remember where it was but I remember reading about a restoration program that paid farmers to leave/plant a 20' buffer of habitat around the perimeter of their fields.
Perhaps something as simple as that wouldn't be too difficult.
That's CP33 habitat buffers , part of the CRP . I also think the BQI helps with those but they're limtited to the fifteen counties in the BQI program .
