It is truly amazing how little you and RSB know about deer and pheasant habitat. The very areas of the state that were once the prime pheasant hunting areas of the state are now the prime deer hunting areas of the state and support much higher DD's than 2G or 2F.

If rabbits or pheasants are in low populations in your area, or anywhere else, it is due to the loss of farmland habitat in combination with the changes in modern and cleaner farming practices. In this area both rabbit and pheasant populations have been improving over the past several years due to habitat improvement projects.
You are incorrect about the Game Commission not cooperating with the wild trap and transfer of pheasants too. The Game Commission can’t pay for it since they don’t have sufficient funds, due to the Legislature failing to adequately fund a state agency. So, the funding is coming from Pheasants Forever, but that still doesn’t mean the Game Commission isn’t cooperating and supportive of the program.
I see your poisonous lies and misinformation are still as blatant and far from the truth as ever. Some things just never change.

In my area the pheasant and the cottontail rabbit are endangered species. I haven't seen a brood of pheasants in at least 20 years and the last I heard the PGC wasn't cooperating with those that wanted to import wild trapped birds from the mid west.

This is exactly my point Mr. RSB. You claim the PGC is lacking funds, so why continue funding the fisher project?
You just said that you can't pay for the trap and transfer of pheasants.
So where are you finding the funds for the fisher trap and transfer or whatever you are doing?
You'd think the PGC would abandon the fisher project and use that money for the pheasants.
This is exactly my point. I'm glad you put your foot in your mouth.
Who's the knot head now?

I had chickadee sit on my broadhead during archery. My sister had a nuthatch take sun flowers seeds out of her hand while on stand. My brother-in-law and a brown creeper sit on his boot while on stand. all those events were very cool and made the day more enjoyable, but we could have had all those experiences 365 days a year without a hunting license!

We pay for a hunting license to be able to hunt. We don't hunt fishers.
