Montana just started to release pen-raised birds onto public land for the first time in nearly 40 years.
A LOT of people think it is a bad idea because Montana is still one of the best places for wild pheasant hunting. And it increases the risk of disease introduction, sending youths out to pot inferior birds, genetic disfunction, predator training, and spending nearly $1mil. a year otherwise available for upland bird habitat acquisition and enhancement.
Other than that, no problem....
