Roger that Phil. The article on this issue is ludicrous. People comment that "it doesn't seem like hunting to me".... DUHHHH... it's NOT hunting and is not touted as such. The article is aggravatingly typical of the "antis". If we didn't have pen-raised pheasants and chukars up here we'd not get much upland type shooting.... and my freezer would be much emptier. The RGS group and the dog training groups can go through thousands of birds a year at the preserves down by Anchorage. They provide a huge service up here. I've put something between 200 and 300 pounds of birds in my freezer from our preserves up here. At one RGS Under Broken Wings event everyone hastily departed when it was over because it was colder than hell and getting dark fast and left 3 of us-Trigg, his brother and I, standing there with 40 expired pheasants deal with... no problem!! My freezer did well that trip I can tell you. Another trip Trigg and I did 28 chukars one day for dog training and I brought them all home since his freezer was well stocked... I just ate one tonight. I'd be doing the same if there was a pigeon ring up here.
