This part concerns me. It will/may have a detrimental impact on clubs like 4-H and many more clubs.

I wonder how this is going to impact Pheasant release sites ?

Part (e) seems to include any person raising Pheasants and Quail :me.

Sound as though, raising and releasing gamebirds is out of the question?....in Canada?  :-|

Looks to me like you can still go out and chop their heads off with a dull knife........just can't shoot them.  :x   Their must be some real geniuses up there.......must be from the overflow of them down here, spilling over onto your turf.   s47

I guess this will also pertain to the falconers as well.
