The laws then were to keep hunters from destroying migratory birds sir! Not concerns about environment.
Migratory Bird Treaty Act passes in 1918 guides "the taking, possession, transportation, sale, purchase, barter, importation, exportation, and banding or marking of migratory birds.

So infact the concern for the birds is not environmental, its to make sure they are at your favorite hunting spot so you can blow them out of the sky....right? So you and Stripernut are more worried about preserving your hiunting trips, than the birds you prey upon? Is that right? Or just making sure you preserve enough birds so they will be availabe for your hunting trips?

So how does one declare themselve to be a concerned CONSERVATIONIST, and at the same time prey on the spieces they seek to protect? Is that a little of "Take care of the ducks I want to shoot".

Yep, I'm confused :-)
WRONG AGAIN , but who's surprised?
As much as I love to duck hunt ( been doing it for **** near 50 years) out of concern for declining numbers I have chosen to put it on hold until something turns around. Maybe leave something for the next generation. yeah its killing me not being waste deep in 35 degrees water at first light waiting for the sound of wings. I love it that much that a self imposed pause is worth it.
Hell I even ceased striper fishing back in June when it became painfully clear The fishery is in major distress.
So yeah, I walk the walk I don't just run my mouth about it.
Just wondering why you guys are so hellbent on trashing the planet?
And by the way evidently this little jib amd jab means more to you than it does me so you win.
Tell him what he's won Johnny!.
What do you mean "not a goddammit thing"?
Oh ok so this is awkward but you may have won (you didnt) but you're still an uninformed loser.
please have a merry Christmas 🎅
