Pheasents Forever??

[wazz]

It seems kinda strange to me, with this Pheasants Forever group, pushing conservation and saving habitat. Planting for pheasants, if you really wanted them forever, maybe stop shooting them. Shouldn't it really be called Pheasants for us to shoot?

Just seems kinda strange.

haha...

The goal is to selectively shoot them. raise and maintain certain populations

Wazz, what's with the trolling???? Pheasants Forever and other sporting organizations like them and us hunters that fund them have done more for wildlife than any other group including all the bird watcher groups put together.

If you are not kidding:

It's all about habitat - and not just for pheasants. Many species from songbirds to fish to humans benefit from the work PF does with habitat.

As for hunting the birds, or any other wildlife, hunters take the surplus. They take what the habitat or arrangement cannot hold or sustain.

Without the work of groups like PF, MN Waterfowl, DU, TU, the list goes on, there would be less wildlife today, even if we stopped hunting all-together.

If you've looked at wazz's other posts you see that he is a hunter. His post was not "anti-" in any way. It sounds like its just a question of definitions.

Like anything, if left unchecked they will get out of hand and if there is no conservation efforts, they will not survive in any considerable numbers.

Guys before you all think that I was serious, it was just a supposed to be a funny little statement. I am all for management or our resources.......I guess I am the only one who thoght it was funny.........

[Augusta]

Don't worry wazz, some of us knew what you meant....

[fishwithteeth]

Fooled again

Just understand that these web sites are occasionally attacked by PETA type trolls.

Isn't it Pheasants Forever? I don't know what a pheasent looks like.

[Pyrex]

And whats with the ducks unlimited?? really, there should be some sort of limit.

[wazz]

Atta boy Pyrex, now you got it...I like the way you think?

[Pyrex]

I got it right away, sorry, I thought your post was funny. As for those who defended it I think you guys did a super job. Informative and nice, I've ran into some of the PETA cult people and all they want is an argument. Keep em commin' wazz!!
