Since you choose to criticize the "blame" commission's program as poor management, it is now your responsibility to state how it could be improved. What would you do first? Move the entire state to South Dakota? It is easy to criticize, but a bit harder to do the actual management, especially given the lack of money. This is a real problem. Do you have some solution for that? If it gets too bad, the only solution will be to have the DCNR take over game management, which will get rid of those lousy managers you seem so intent on replacing.

I assume that New Jersey's wonderful program is based upon wild breeding populations of ringnecks? How would you accomplish that, given the fact that Pennsylvania farms have zero habitat for ringnecks and most of our gamelands are forests? Come on now. Give us the benefit of your whizdumb. It is very easy to criticize. Not so easy to suggest better ways that work in PA. You dug yourself a hole, buddy. Now climb out of it if you can. And please don't suggest stocking more pen raised birds. Hunting them is not hunting any more than hunting deer in a fenced preserve is deer hunting, or fishing for stocked trout is fishing. By the way, I can find hunting like you experienced in NJ in PA on preserves too.

I would like to be in Harrisburg to hear you propose your new and innovative program to the "Blame" Commission, but a prior committment prevents my being enlightened. I must fly to Reno to attend the SCI convention.
