Thanks, Don Baccus. I couldn't written it better myself. :)
Money talks. Hunters have supported their passion with cash. That
cash has been used to purchase the wildlife refuges most of us enjoy. It's
time for birders to pay our share. Non-game wildlife are little protected
and little researched because there is no cash support for their protection.
That's why Teaming With Wildlife was initiated.
I am not a hunter either. However, I know how much they pay to
protect game animals. You might be surprised that they also give money to
support non-game wildlife (through tax refund contributions such as those in
Idaho and Kansas).
