There will be a press release. If anyone has second-hand info please keep it to yourself, it is likely wrong.

No problem. While you are at it I need you to make sure the gates at the upper delta get opened and stay open. You can mail me a key if you need to.

10-4. There is a lot going around about it. The DCNR will clear it up if anything serious is going on.

Losing 17,600 acres is a huge deal. Nothing's been announced formally yet?

Certainly the DCNR wouldn't wait until right before deer season opens to give word of a large WMA closure would they..................even if by press conference. I'm sure they will clear it up if there is something serious going on. Least that's what I read on the interwebs.

Look folks, I have had several calls and PM'S on this subject and here is what I know.

The agreement between the Boykin family and the DCNR reached its expiration date this month. There have been talks between the DCNR and the family to keep it open. There are a lot of factors that go into these decisions on both sides. The DCNR has never paid a lease for Boykin WMA, it has been generously donated by the family and has been a tremendous asset to the department and to the hunting public.

They could always borrow money from the state parks to lease it.





Oh wait............

The legislature reappropriates their funds to what they see fit. State parks would be just fine if their $$$ was left in their budget. Robbing Peter to pay Paul doesn't work especially when Paul is spending far more than Peter had to begin with. Hard to explain that to omniscient legislatures.

Thankfully WFF is funded strictly through license sales and federal P-R match dollars. The federal match dollars are off limits to the legislature which burns them up. We receive zero General Fund dollars.
