Nothing to do with the long long exchange, but I spouted some BS above regarding the pheasant farm's funding.
From mine:
Quote:
Before declaring the closing of the Ithaca game farm here a loss, I'd like to know the cost/bird that we were paying.

According to the NRA email, it's entirely funded by ammo tax.
"The Reynolds game farm..has a budget of $750,000-per-year and is entirely funded by Pittman-Robertson monies..not money from the General Fund."
