Here's the latest and greatest on the farm. I think NYSTA would serve it's own interest, and the general interest of sportsmen and women in NY by sending something to help, even if very small.
RCCA Injunction 1/11/09
“ SAVE THE PHEASANT PROGRAM”
On behalf of the sportsmen/women, 4-H and Cooperator Chick program, youth hunting, traditional recreation, economic stability for hunting related jobs, the Rensselaer County Conservation Alliance Inc. is in the process of ascertaining an INJUNCTION against the N.Y.S. Department of Environmental Conservation to cease the proposed plan to close the Reynolds Game Farm. Closing the game farm would wipe out any chance to develop a pheasant program in N.Y.S. Individuals, clubs sponsors can financially support this effort by contacting us immediately with your commitment . An accounting of all funds will be kept thru the Rensselaer County Alliance Inc. and used for the legal defense and professional team support. Any monies derived from this effort left over will be returned on a cost/ ratio basis. Not only is the Pheasant Program in danger, but this is a test of what the stakeholders of the Conservation Fund will pursue and what the future of fishing , hunting and trapping means to New York Staters.
Contact for support: PH# (518) 674-2961 Fax (518) 674-0448 e-mail ccshng3@aol.com Checks to : Rensselaer County Conservation Alliance Inc. P. O. Box 1055 Troy, New York 12181
With respect to the sad state of affairs, Howie Cushing Jr. R.C.C.A. President
*PLEASE PASS THIS ON *

It was my understanding that the Reynolds Farm was already closed. Is this true or not ? Certainly would be in our best efforts to support this if it is still possible to keep open.

The farm is not "officially" closed, and talks are ongoing.

I heard today per Harold Palmer (NYS conservation Council) that the Governor has spared the pheasant farm. Lets see if something comes out in print soon.
