It sure will send some deer towards me!

True, but it'll probably send more hogs than deer. Our place is just north of the Gov land and it will be interesting to see how this affects the wildlife in the area.

There has already been quite a bit of timber cut in the Bois d' Arc bottom over the past few years spreading wildlife this way and that as they search for new habitat. Some of the landowners have got/ are getting/ will get as much of the timber value ahead of their properties being taken as they can; not to blame either. I have noticed a change in the wildlife population in the last five years more drastic than the previous twenty combined.

sad to see it go but i tend to look at the positives. We will get a new like and likely some more public land surrounding it and thats never a bad thing.
