Mothra asked:


I read in "American Gun and Hunter" magazine that the Bald Eagle population is now at 10,000, and that when it gets to 15,000 (est. 5-7 years) that there is a proposal to make available 1000 tags, by lottery, for the eagles. The states with the highest eagle populations would be allocated the most tags. Hunters would be allowed to hunt with center-fire rifles, shotguns, or archery equipment. The article pointed out that this would make it legal for any American to possess eagle feathers. As it stands now only American Indians can possess eagle feathers. Many hunters think that a Bald Eagle would make a beautiful trophy, but many disagree.
