there are two issues but they converge.
the first is the unsportsmanlike conduct- i agree that can exist in any hunting and your ducks, deer and crows are not state raised.
However, the $$ spent allow us to dump birds out so people, who would be too lazy to bust through cover to hunt grouse, can get an easy fix. It's put and take.
its not a self funded program or why would they bother to threaten to cut it. they move that cash flow to where ever the squeaky wheel is.
If it was self funded they couldnt cut it.
just my personal opinion. Its a program I could live without.
