[QUOTE="fishfurlife, post: 2786297, member: 15170"] Deer24/7. Let's take a look at Waurika WMA Ft Cobb, Mountain Park, The wetland at Lake Ellsworth, Gist WMA, Grady County WMA, and Washita County WMA. All of the above are operated by one technician and one biologist. No, there is not equipment for each WMA. Equipment has to be hauled from WMA to WMA. Each WMA has some equipment that stays there but tractors for the most part are moved around. Ft Cobb, Waurika, and Mt Park all have dedicated wetlands as well. How about Packsaddle, Ellis County WMA, and Black Kettle WMA. Two techs and one Biologist. To cover 55,000 acres. Not much equipment at black kettle. So it has to be roaded or hauled around that WMA. Hopefully that gives you an idea of what the employees of the state have to work with. And in order to know what there is, the science of management still has to be applied. Surveys and trapping are needed to know what there is and where things are going. I understand your desire but the truth is that food plots are not critical to a deers nutrition. Food plots are mainly planted to make hunters happy. Deer will do perfectly fine without them. [/QUOTE]
