A letter to the editor of this newspaper a year ago intrigued me with this woman complaining about “canned pheasant hunting” by the N.H. Fish and Game. Game farmed-raised birds are released at this time until Dec. 31 and are often quickly killed by those who know where they will be set free.

The pheasants don’t behave like wild birds, and those 64 locations where they are stocked are known by hunters with their dogs. Approximately 11,535 fowl are produced this way, and which have no survival skills.
