Default RE: Why is the PGC reintroducing Fishers?

The fact is that we have thousands upon thousands of acres of reclaimed strip jobs mixed in with thousands of acres of active farmland in the southern part of this county and unit 2G. All of which make excellent habitat for both rabbits and pheasant with just a little habitat work.
You never cease to amaze me with your changing positions on the habitat in 2G. Last month the habitat was so poor that the habitat was controlling the herd and severely limited recruited. Now you have excellent habitat for both rabbits and pheasants. Just what do those rabbits and pheasants eat when there is two feet of snow? Why does the PGC have to stock pheasants if you have such excellent habitat. In the 60's and 70's we had great pheasant hunting in 5C and they weren't stocked pheasants and now that the pheasants are gone ,the pGC doesn't even stock birds on the coop farms in the valley. I guess the ship them to 2G for fisher, fox and coyote feed.
