I like CNC's posts. I may not always agree, but they get me thinking.

I review academic research and apply it to commercial applications for a living. 6 years of doing this has taught me that most of the literature wrong. Researchers publish for the sake of publishing, even when they got nothing. I'm not saying to disregard it, but don't blindly follow it either. I've hunted a few properties that were ruined by a wildlife biologist. I would like to have one come out on my land and give me advice one day, but I probably won't follow every recommendation.
