To the hunter who peppered us.

It will eventually die on its own.   Just has to have a couple more death spasms

funny, I thought after all these different pages, this thread was actually getting somewhere before pianoman chimed back with his attack.

personally I am hoping for 20 more pages. if the right people get chance to see it and see through all the BS changes might be made.

Yep some good positive points and how to work things out and always somebody tries to sabotage it

its never as black and white as you seem to paint it pianoman.  (get it, black and white... piano? ...oh never mind)

Ok, that was a little funny

The 8 to 4 hours are to give the volunteers that plant the pheasants an option on planting in the morning or evening.  If you could be in the field early, you'd have some people following the volunteer around the field.

Not to mention you could have a duck hunter quick throw on some orange and blast pheasants before the other (legit) pheasant hunters could run into the field.  Wouldn't suprise me on westside public land 

I have seen this happen many times.  i am not even sure this guy was duck hunting, just put on camo and sat by the lake with his dog until 8.  then he'd put on his orange vest and go to it. all in clear view of the other hunters waiting at the line for legal time.

Seems like the only thing lacking in this situation was the enforcement and observation of the hunter orange law. 
Here in MI we have overlapping deer seasons.  Archery and an early youth rifle hunt over lap.  During normal archery a hunter can in the field without orange, but when a gun season overlaps, ALL must wear orange.
As far as the "preserve" hunts...what pheasant population we once head here in MI is on a very slow recovery, but as to invest time in hunting wild birds, you'd be better off hunting grouse and woodcock.  BUT I've been on plenty of "meat hunts" at preserves.  You guys hit it on the head regarding the benefits of a put and take hunt...dog training, young/old hunters etc.
I was stationed at Bangor in the early 90's and hope to move back out to the Sound area.  It's good to know there's controversy out your way too

Bangor of the early 90's and that of today are quite different.  Good luck on where you decide upon though.
