CHEMICAL FREE HUNTING
Question: OK, those are a lot of big words but what
does it all mean? WE USE NO CHEMICALS,
NONE IN THE FIELDS,
For
the environment and health conscious hunter, the preserve is stocked with birds
fed only on organic feed. We grow the crops that are made into the organic
feed. To be certified organic, you must have a document trail for at least
three years indicating the proper crop rotation, how your crop is grown, and how
it is stored. The final rule is that the grain should be fit for human
consumption. Can Hunt has been in operation since 1988. It
began as an alternative to "no hunting signs" with an ultimate goal of being
chemical free.
Question: Why are you organic?
Answer: The answer is simple. Some places use things such as
fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, steroids, antibiotics (which lead to antibiotic resistant bacteria) either in the
fields where their birds are, in the grain the birds are fed, or are simply
in the streams, runoff, or well water the birds drink from.
Answer: You are what you eat, and so are birds, deer, and
cattle. When exposed to such things the birds store such nasty things in their
fatty tissues until they are bagged and eaten. In doing so they pass all of the
nasty contents onto the hunters that eat them plus can greatly effect the taste,
smell, moistness, and texture of the cooked birds and game.
NONE IN THE FEED GRAIN, NONE IN THE WATER.
All
of our birds you can safely eat and enjoy not only for the successful hunt
but also the great natural flavor!
