Why is there a Wood Duck Season anyway? And, perhaps even more
unexplainable is why Ky, our grand Commonwealth has a hunting season for
Soras. How many are being reported this late summer? What about Moorhens
and Galinules? Why is there a season on them? Not sure there is on the
Moorhen, and that would be terrible since they are listed as endangered
in the state. But Galinules? As a game bird??? Not everything is easily
explainable. Does anyone out there know why we hunt these birds.? Is
this something left over from the stone age? Seems totally archaic.
