Here is a direct (and unedited) quote: “… keep in mind the main reason why experienced crow hunters got into the sport in the first place, Fun. I am not anti-hunting. Plain old fashioned Fun.”. This is baloney.
Making bad news worse, officials speculate that the Whooping Cranes likely weren’t killed by hunters, but instead by thrill-seekers. To learn more—and educate others—about Whooping Cranes, there are plenty of resources. Any loss of the cranes is a huge blow, as the total current population hovers around 600.
So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? Do all hunters realize that?

He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their two indoor cats, Hunter and B.B.

His underlying point should be well taken by all of us: Birders and bird-educators could have an impact on the future of the Refuge System.

Then I started volunteering at The Raptor Center to give educational programs with live birds of prey and my trainer was a master falconer. Many general and master falconers with wild birds will also let them go after a few hunting seasons, especially if they are good hunters to give them a shot at spreading their genes in the wild.
