" To: the original JD - Maybe, if they were letting them go in a dome, and giving the hunters huge nets to catch them in...... They are simply keeping the population up so they are available to hunt. Ever had Pheasant? It's good! "

" I haven't hunted pheasant in years, but this story peaks my curiousity on one front. Is the Gov. doing cost-benefit analysis on these things he wants to cut funding on or close down (i.e. Pontiac)? From this simple story it appears that he is engaging in the time honored tradition of stock price value addition that corporations have done for years. Instead of actually figuring out long-term budgetary planning, the corporate slash-and-burn approach (i.e. massive layoffs, plant closings, etc.) is being taken in Illinois for tactical short term gain. Great for the bottom line for this year, but disasterous for years to come. "
