Guys who squall about the extinction of the passenger pigeon by hunters and trap shooters are guys who have only read short articles written by guys who think the same way. If you've ever actually read the history of their extinction and studied it you'll understand that it's not the gun but the saw that brought it about. I'm not saying it was a good thing, I'm just stating the facts of the issue.
And the darkening of the sky by ducks, or lack thereof, again has nothing to do with sport hunting or even market hunting. Like the passenger pigeon, it has to to with habitat destruction. Blame the bulldozer and the saw, not the gun oh ye uninformed.....
