Alcock still holds out a cattle - free Arizona as his long - term goal, and this is where the masked
bobwhite of his title come in.
Not exact matches
Each year more than a hundred miles
of sesbania, lespedeza and other
bobwhite foods are planted to supplement the natural broom sedge.
After some unsuccessful attempts to reintroduce the
bobwhite, the US Fish and Wildlife Service bought, for almost $ 9 million, 21 000 acres
of ranchland, and fenced it to exclude cattle.
Charlie Potter, host
of Chicago radio station WGN's Great Outdoors program («dedicated to bringing to WGN listeners outdoor information in an honest and entertaining format») and president
of the Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation (whose mission involves «actively creating solutions through programs
of management, education, research and communications that strongly enhance the conservation
of fish, game, wildlife and their habitats»), is blaming declining Northern
bobwhite numbers on feral cats.
Setting aside Potter's curious view
of events for the moment, though, I find his core argument truly bizarre: the
bobwhite need to be protected from cats so that they can be killed (preferably «25 in a day,» just like in the good old days Potter describes in the Courier News article) by hunters.
