Thanks for posting Uguide.
There's a link on this site linked to the flushing bar project. Some videos on that site (link below).
Has anyone heard from the founder of this product lately? I know he was on the forum some time ago working out some bugs with the bar
Not sure how this product is working out.

Folks,
Hit the link above for a brand new publication from Michigan Natural Features Inventory. I provided materials for the section on flushing bars starting on page 16. Exciting stuff!

This is good for those who have natural creeks, sloughs, trees etc for edges but useless in a perfectly flat, and square land scape where creeks are ditched and straightened and canals run straight on section lines like they do here. Seeing a natural edge around here is rarer than hens teeth.

Here is a pic of what our landscape looks like.
I'm not sure it's really new since everything mentioned there has been previously provided somewhere before. It's nicely packaged though.
IMO fragmentation of parcels is really going to limit what MI is able to do about their pheasant population though. I tried to get some neighbors on board, they seemed excited because they wanted to see more pheasants, but since their recreational mowing habits have gotten even worse. Apparently people don't like to see grass sticking through the snow come winter.
