Which wasn’t a surprise, since everyone on the commission is a hunter. Brokering land to hunters, hooking them up with guide services…all for a fee. Why should they get to unilaterally decide that the sandhill crane will be a game bird in Kentucky? Not surprising, but certainly disappointing.

Originally a hunting term, the Big Five were the most dangerous and prized targets of the great white hunters on safari. Seekers of the game-viewing Big Five have more recently relaxed their criteria and generally either Black or White Rhino is counted as a member of the Big Five. They live for up to 100 years.

Being a birder redefines ones travel views and arrangements – unlike old churches, birding tourist attractions have wings and tend to use them, which makes locating them more of a game.

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? That’s what you do with other game, right? Do all hunters realize that?

Whenever the media report that someone has killed "an endangered animal" or "an endangered species," they too confuse an individual with a species.
