If so, that's brutal.

I have witnessed this first hand at Buffalo Lake. A certain group of people would sit in there vehicles or on lawn chairs by their vehicles, and then when the truck arrived, they rushed over to the release area and opened fire, as the birds were being released from the crates. It was usually the same group of people , and I never saw them hunting anywhere, except in the immediate release area, when the truck was present. I spoke with the biologist, and he mentioned that they had received multiple complaints, and were going to random release days and times. Once the releases were no longer predictable, those people soon stopped showing up.
