its a disgusting waste of birds. 
its also a waste of my tax dollars. 
I raise my own pheasants. I couldn't give a rats butt if they stopped the program, in fact i wish they would. 
Sorry.....

 Sorry, but your tax dollars do not buy one pheasant. You need to do your homework. It is a self funded program. I am sorry that you are unhappy but, there will always be a few people who abuse the program. This program is a introduction to hunting for many youths in our state. So, to cancel it just because you are unhappy would be the beginning of the end in our state.
