Heres "what I think of that"! If there is a quail duck or bass released on my property, I released it! The bass stay in the pond they were released in, the quail usually leave in the teeth or talons of a predator and I am opposed to releasing ducks for the same reason - they will end up somewhere else. I frequent a LOT of quail hatcheries and know a lot of producers in central AL, south GA and north FL and they DON'T have "genetically altered" quail, especially those raised and altered for a particular physical trait.
I am not a Marengo co landowner, but have clients that are, who I discussed this with and they don't like it for the same reasons I don't, hence the original comment I had regarding this misinformed and misguided "project".
Regardless, it this a democratic decision? Kinda like 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner??
I am a land owner in Marengo County and I have been following this thread. I also know the guys who are doing this project and they have put a lot more thought into it that most of the people I see on this thread. I could not help but comment after seeing the above post. Here are my questions.
Who said their deer were going to be genetically altered? From what I understand it is no different than quail that are hand selected for their "genetic superiority" accordind to this farm
http://www.blackcreekquailfarm.com/WQTR.htmlFor you to think you can release quail on your property and any disease they have can't be spread to the other property is very hypocritical to say.
