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.

George you are wrong, The Governor wanted to take the 160,000 dollars that was raised through the sale of pheasant stamps the previous year and use it balance the budget. The other answer to your question is.. The state of CT. has no grouse! I have to ask, when is the last time you shot a grouse in CT. Remember, one thing Sir. We are only the caretakers and are on this earth for a short time. We need to preserve every right that we have..So it can be passed down to the next of kin.
