* of course, the attitude of North American hunters towards conservation
is likely entirely different from that of Middle-eastern Bustard blasters.
My experience is that while hunters and sport fishers are enthusiastic
about conservation, they are often not very knowledgeable about species
other than those they pursue, and might well generally benefit from
shared membership with naturalists' groups.
