NWR???



Carolinabirders,

in connection to the hunters thing, maybe somebody could answer a question I
have been asking myself for ages. Why would you call places where you can
hunt Wildlife Refuges? To me that sounds like a safe haven?!? Just a
question, I don't mean anything by it. I am not anti-hunting, I have never
tried it, but it doesn't really appeal to me either. What may be of
interest: in (northern) Europe (like England and Holland) there is a bit of
a different attitude towards hunting than in the US. It is considered a rich
man's sport or even something of the past the nobility tries to hang on to.
For instance: most dutch people are against hunting, but the royal family
goes merrily hunting on their estates.

Anyway, if somebody could explain, I would appreciate.

good birding,
Jan-Joost
