Thanks for the link dipper. I looked at this last evening, and one can sign up for the course all the way up until the end pretty much. I will be signing up this evening as well, especially since I am one of those guys who "complains" about my DNR. I will look at this as a real learning experience, even though I have read most of Leopold's more popular works back in high school. I'm interested to see how they teach this curriculum compared to the way I was taught it 25+ years ago. It sure doesn't seem like many of the graduates from these fields of study nowadays put much weight in his teachings for some reason. I was just reading a paper last evening put together by 2 young wildlife program grads that basically said Leopold's teachings were highly flawed and no longer held any benefit in today's management. :rolleyes: They were probably the types that have some agenda, some pet plant species or endangered lizard that they, themselves must save from utter destruction at the hands of all other outdoor enthusiasts, :rolleyes: so d*mn the teachings of the guy who wrote the textbooks on the common sense ways to manage wildlife. Having all those resources and information at your fingertips will be pretty cool. We will see if my opinion of Dr. Timothy Van Deelen changes after the end of this course.
