I figured there would be some defectors. Minnesotans tagged 180,000 deer in 2013. In the same year they shot "about" 169,000 pheasants. I don't have a problem with tagging a deer. Putting a zip tie around a pheasant's leg/wing/neck wouldn't be a deal for me. I guess registration would be the part that most people would balk at. And the $3 cost per bird. But hunters don't bat an eye at putting $100 of diesel in their truck, driving to South Dakota, buying a non-resident license, paying for lodging, food, and $4 pigeons to train their dogs with.
Appreciate the feedback guys!
