PHEASANT HUNT GETS SHOT DOWN

"The National Park Service abruptly announced it will phase out pheasant hunting at the Cape Cod National Seashore after animal welfare groups asked a federal judge to stop the hunt." This ridiculous custom dates back a full 60 years, involving the stocking of a beach area with non-native birds and calling in a couple dozen hunters with dogs to rampage around shootin' at stuff and hoping not to hit Cape Cod residents. So what is the Park Service going to replace this with? Quail hunts. Or so they think now.
