I get they are running a business. But they are not running a business. They are a state agency funded by tax dollars. Brood counts, while not perfect were consistent for yearsand years. same route, same time of day, etc. If you spend enough money, people will believe the line and show up to hunt. When the advertising doesn't match the experience "customers" get an attitude of being sold a lie. That is bad for your "business" long term. We all know habitat produces birds. It would seem that incentives to help private landowners to leave ditches undisturbed would be a good start. I guess time will tell.
