Whooping Crane

[BloodKnot]

I am no tree hugger, but I applaud efforts to restore and retain the natural land and species to the area. The efforts to get whooping cranes back in the area should be welcomed by hunters and non-hunters, in my opinion.

These cranes where in my area during teal season. No one stopped our hunting and we did hunt. No Whooping Cranes were harmed.

That will never happen because many hunters don't care about something they can't shoot. Fact is, it was not so long ago that you couldn't shoot a Turkey. If they can't shoot it, they don't see the point of restoring something that has no economic value to them.

My view is, there are hunters and there are conservationists. A conservationist appreciates all species, whether huntable or not. A hunter only cares about a species he can put in the pot. Some conservationists are hunters, but a hunter isn't a conservationist. All he wants tto do is fill the freezer.

Same can be said for some fishermen I know.

I'm just glutton for arguments......
