Very nice Matt.......Unfortunately, you'll never convince the bleeding heart libs of this...... :-[
Thanks Steve. I thought it was a well done piece but your are right the bleeding heart libs that buy meat from the store and look down their nose at us really makes me mad.

I went to Vons the other day and was buying a some items to cook some pheasant and the checkout lady asked me what I was making. I told her pheasant. She was impressed at first but when she asked me how I got it and I told her I harvested it the conversation ended. Funny if I had bought it at the store I bet the conversation would have ended differently!
Things we wished we'd said: "What's the matter honey? Are you just ticked off because I didn't buy the bird from you? Are your chickens all raised on a free range like my pheasant was?"
Btw, I've been looking for the state conservation budget so I can see what percentage of revenue comes from hunting and fishing (user) fees. Anyone have info on that? AZ uses ZERO tax dollars for wildlife: it's 100% user fees, and they advertise that fact prominently.
