Giving the bird watchers and tree huggers a stake and therefore a say in State wildlife management doesn't seem like the best idea for hunters.
They’ve always had a say.
Birdwatchers tend to volunteer to be Bird counters.
Wildlife agencies tend to use Bird counts as an indicator since they are more mobile/visible (I think).
More sportsmen volunteering for counts would help with our voice in the agencies ear.
It's also good for practicing woodcraft and a great opportunity to get out where you can't hear the doom'n'gloomers...
