Personally, I think if they are under funded to maintain the refuges and keep the areas huntable, maybe it's time to move to a lottery type system with designated hunt areas. Many places up north do it. This allows them to maintain specifies areas and also ends the problem of crowded hunt areas. Big money has taken over all the farm land/leases. No money has devastated the public hunt areas. It may be time to find a happy medium.

True, but lets not forget that the hunting area of Sabine only makes up about a 1/3 of the total refuge. Cameron Prairie and Rockefeller don't allow any waterfowl hunting at all (except for CP youth hunt). These are good areas that could provide good waterfowl opportunities and ease the overcrowding, but it'll never happen. I don't wanna see a lottery but it may be the only way.
